Özet

The green alga Pseudocodium okinawense is reported for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. The collection of this species from a 54-m depth on a sandy-mud bottom on August 2017 near Kalkan, Turkey, also represents the first report of the genus Pseudocodium from the Mediterranean. The species was previously reported from southern Japan (type locality, Okinawa), Indonesia, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea. Oil tankers and the several permanent/semi-permanent man-made structures are the likely vectors of introduction.
