| Abstract |
During a comprehensive study of the biodiversity of marine invertebrates on the island of Heligoland in September 2023, I identified 14 species of tunicates. I observed that some of these species occur only in specific locations on the island during this period and This agrees well with the results of previous studies on the distribution of species in different locations on the island. I suggest, that Molgula manhattensis is a relatively recently introduced species in this region. |
