Ulva lactuca Linnaeus

Despite numerous Mediterranean records, including the Cypriot ones ( Russo 1997, Taşkın et al. 2013), its occurrence in the Mediterranean Sea needs to be confirmed ( Gallardo et al. 1993). It should be noted that the molecular identity of the holotype does not match that of N. European specimens that have since been assigned to this binomial ( Butler 2007). Molecular analyses by Wolf et al. (2012) mention that old specimens from the Adriatic Sea should be assigned to Ulva rigida .
