Invasion Description

1st Records: Tura Head/New South Wales/Tasman Sea (2009, Colgan and Middlefart 2011, M. edulis genotype, molecular identification); Bittangabe Bay, Haycock Headlands/New South Wales/Tasman Sea (2009, Colgan and Middlefart 2011, M. edulis genotype, molecular identification); Green Cape/New South Wales/Tasman Sea (2009, Colgan and Middlefart 2011, M. edulis genotype, molecular identification); Sydney/New South Wales/Tasman Sea (2009, Colgan and Middlefart 2011, Northern Hemisphere genotype, molecular identification)

Colgan and Middlefart's (2010) analysis for haplotypes does not distinguish between purebred and hybrid animals, so does not tell us if differentiaed populations are present.
