Healthy thalli of the invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae (Phaeophyceae) being massively dragged into deep-sea bottoms by the Mediterranean Outflow Water

The invasive seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae has recently arrived in Europe from the western Pacific. Its explosive spread on coastal areas of the Gulf of Cádiz (GoC), Strait of Gibraltar and Alboran Sea is spoiling native coastal ecosystems and inflicting heavy losses on ecosystem services. We discov...

Its explosive spread on coastal areas of the Gulf of Cádiz (GoC), Strait of Gibraltar and Alboran Sea is spoiling native coastal ecosystems and inflicting heavy losses on ecosystem services. We discovered for the first time large amounts (up to 17 g m) of detached R. okamurae thalli on deep-sea bottoms of the GoC that are being dragged from the Strait of Gibraltar shores into the NE Atlantic by the Mediterranean Outflow Water (MOW). Laboratory experiments revealed that collected unattached macroalgae from deep-sea locations were alive and healthy and maintained intact photosynthetic capacity after long dark periods, suggesting a tremendous resilience and invasive potential. Given the rapid transport of healthy thalli by the MOW and massive accumulation of them in the GoC basin, R. okamurae could represent a major threat to NE Atlantic ecosystems, affecting not only coastal but also deep-sea habitats.Funding was provided by the projects INPULSE (CTM2016-75129-C3-1-R) and ESMARES-2, both with financial support from Ministerio de Transición Ecológica and Reto Demográfico (MITECO) and LIFE IP PAF INTEMARES, coordinated by the Fundación Biodiversidad of the Ministerio de Transición Ecológica and Reto Demográfico, with financial support from the European Union’s LIFE programme (LIFE15 IPE ES 012).Peer reviewedTaylor & FrancisMinisterio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (España)Fundación BiodiversidadConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2023202320232023info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/337979reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
