Short description Morfologi

Thallus consists of a horizontal branched stolon and erect branches, the latter densely covered by many short ramuli; along almost the entire length of their axes. Each ramulus consisting of a short stalk and a globose tip, 1 to 3 mm in diameter; the distinct constriction between the tip of the stalk and the base of the globose tip is a characteristic of this species. Erect branches up to 15 cm in height (Ref. 80758).

Biologi     Ordlista (t.ex. epibenthic)

Highly favoured for human consumption due to its soft and succulent texture; has a high mineral content (Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cu, Fe, Zn); also used as medicine: antifungal, lowers blood pressure (Ref. 80758). Commonly inhabits shallow, sandy to muddy lagoon and reef flats which are not exposed during low tides and where the water is generally calm. It may form an extensive bed in exceptionally good habitats. Commercially farmed in ponds and lagoons and is the most popular edible species of Caulerpa (Ref. 80758).
