“…The world's largest greentide event occurred in 2008 in Qingdao on the Yellow Sea coast in north-eastern China and aroused attention to the marine environment in China (Liang et al, 2008;). The species responsible was identified as being Enteromorpha prolifera by Wang et al (2008Wang et al ( , 2010, Zhang et al (2008) and Ding and Luan (2009), using morphological and genetic techniques. Hayden et al (2003) recently found E. prolifera (O.F.…”

). The blooms originated in the coastal area of Jiangsu province and spread north-east towards the Shandong Peninsula. The blooms grew at different rates and mesoscale variability in surface winds explained the differences in the spatial and temporal patterns of blooms in 2008 and 2009. The 2009 bloom was tracked to its origin immediately offshore of extensive intertidal flats between Yancheng and Nantong where recent rapid expansion of Porphyra aquaculture has occurred. We review published hypotheses which have been advanced to explain the occurrence of blooms and in light of our findings, we conclude that the accumulation and disposal of waste Ulva prolifera from Porphyra aquaculture rafts is the most likely cause of the blooms.

“…The ITS sequences of the free-floating samples in 2010 and 2011 collected in this study were identical with NCBI sequences FJ002301 and HM046600, which were from the dominant species of the Yellow Sea green tides in 2008 and [11,41]. AJ002301 represents 70 identical free-floating samples in 2008 [26].…”

“…The morphological presence (U. prolifera) or absence (U. linza) of branches was coincided with the two phylogenetic discrete clusters based on 5S rDNA spacer [10]. Wang et al [11] illustrated that the blooming algae in 2007 and 2008 were U. prolifera based on both morphological characteristics and ribotype network of ITS sequences. Liu et al [12,13] proved that the dominant free-floating Ulva species in 2008 and 2009 possibly belonged to a single strain of the LPP clade, and the dominant bloom-forming alga was unlikely able to survive in the coastal waters in the winter conditions of Qingdao.…”

“…Using molecular analysis, our previous studies implied that the blooms only consisted of this single species Wang et al, 2010). However, worldwide, green-tide forming algae are never limited to one species (Fletcher, 1990;Hiraoka et al, 2003;Sun et al, No.4 WANG et al: Ulvaceae species form the Yellow Sea 763 2008).…”

Ulvacean green seaweeds are common worldwide; they formed massive green tides in the Yellow Sea in recent years, which caused marine ecological problems as well as a social issue. We investigated two major genera of the Ulvaceae, Ulva and Enteromorpha, and collected the plastid rbcL and nuclear ITS sequences of specimens of the genera in two sides of the Yellow Sea and analyzed them. Phylogenetic trees of rbcL data show the occurrence of five species of Enteromorpha (E. compressa, E. flexuosa, E. intestinalis, E. linza and E. prolifera) and three species of Ulva (U. pertusa, U. rigida and U. ohnoi). However, we found U. ohnoi, which is known as a subtropical to tropical species, at two sites on Jeju Island, Korea. Four ribotypes in partial sequences of 5.8S rDNA and ITS2 from E. compressa were also found. Ribotype network analysis revealed that the common ribotype, occurring in China, Korea and Europe, is connected with ribotypes from Europe and China/Japan. Although samples of the same species were collected from both sides of the Yellow Sea, intraspecific genetic polymorphism of each species was low among samples collected worldwide.
