“…Occasionally they extend into northern temperate regions in Europe, Asia, America, and Canada and into New Zealand (cf.

The representatives of the genus Compsopogon Montagne in Bory et Durieaux (Rhodophyta) are basically tropical or subtropical algae. In central Europe they are only found in aquaria and in water bodies affected by thermal effluents, like the species C. aeruginosus (J. Agardh) Kützing in the Pulkau River (Austria), a tributary of the Dyje /Thaya River (Austria, Czech Republic). The first observation of this species was made in 2007 in the Pulkau River. In autumn 2010 the species was also observed at lower densities in an approximately 20 km section of the Dyje/Thaya River between the mouth of the Pulkau River (A) and the Nové Mlýny Reservoir (CR). Recently, the species was found also in Skryjský Brook, a tributary of the Jihlava River, below the cooling water effluent from the Dukovany Nuclear Power Plant, South Moravia, Czech Republic. This is the second finding of representatives of the genus Compsopogon in rivers in central Europe.

“…In a recent review of the Compsogonales by Rintoul et al (1999), which included molecular phylogenetic Compsopogon coeruleus is a widespread species occurring in rivers and canals, and in both fresh and brackish waters over a wide range of climatic zones. Originally described from Algeria, it is now known from Europe (Germany, Poland, United Kingdom, France, Malta) North and Central America, Asia, and Australasia (Chapman & Cameron 1967;Entwisle & Price 1992). C. coeruleus seems to be expanding its distribution and has been reported as a potential nuisance alga in the Pacific Region (Chapman & Cameron 1967;Entwisle & Price 1992).…”

The rhodophyte Compsopogon coeruleus (Balbis ex C. Agardh) Montagne is newly recorded from Fiji, South Pacific. Plants occur in dense masses in the Wainivesi River in the province of Tailevu. Local villagers collect the plants and use them to cook a "pudding" with tinned fish, very similar to "puddings" prepared by coastal Fijians using marine species such as Gracilaria and Hypnea. This is the first documented account of the use of Compsopogon as a gelling agent in the preparation of human food.

A total of 434 taxa belonging mainly to Chlorophyceae, Myxophyceae and Bacillariophyceae are added to the previous additions to the check list of the freshwater algae of New Zealand. Some of the names are fmm the references mentioned in an earlier check list but which h:1d been overlooked; some are from earlier literature not covered by previous check lists; others are from papers published since 1966, and the remainder are from the authors' unpublished records.
