Abstract

The first record of Halophila stipulacea is reported for the continental waters of the United States. In August 2024, a small meadow was identified inside Crandon Marina on Key Biscayne, Florida, USA. Following surveys have revealed that H. stipulacea has spread to adjacent areas immediately outside of the marina, often growing either in close proximity to, or interspersed with, the native seagrasses Thalassia testudinum, Syringodium filiforme, and Halodule wrightii. This serves as an initial report and extends the geographic scope of this introduced species in the Western Atlantic basin.

美国大陆水域（佛罗里达州基比斯坎）首次记录到海草 Halophila stipulacea (Forsskal) Ascherson

据报道，这是美国大陆水域首次记录到 Halophila stipulacea。2024 年 8 月，在美国佛罗里达州比斯坎礁的克兰登码头发现了一小片草地。随后的调查显示，H. stipulacea 已蔓延到码头外的邻近地区，通常生长在本地海草 Thalassia testudinum、Syringodium filiforme 和 Halodule wrightii 附近或与它们交错生长。这是一份初步报告，扩大了这一引入物种在西大西洋盆地的地理范围。

期刊介绍： Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.
