SYSTEMATIC ACCOUNT OF INTRODUCED AND CRYPTOGENIC SPECIES<br />

VIRUSES, BACTERIA, <strong>and</strong> FUNGI<br />

Carr (1996) reviewed the <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>and</strong> <strong>in</strong>digenous viruses, bacteria, <strong>and</strong> fungi associated with<br />

<strong>in</strong>troduced penaeid shrimp <strong>in</strong> mariculture <strong>in</strong> the Hawaiian Isl<strong>and</strong>s. Several of the viruses (but none<br />

of the bacteria or fungi), <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g IHHNV (<strong>in</strong>fectious hypodermal <strong>and</strong> hematopoietic necrosis<br />

virus), MBV (Penaeus monodon-type baculovirus), <strong>and</strong> RPS (rhabdovirus of American penaeids)<br />

were imported to the Isl<strong>and</strong>s with live penaeid shrimp. Whether they are established <strong>in</strong> the wild is<br />

not known; we thus do not count these viruses <strong>in</strong> our tabulations of <strong>in</strong>troduced species.<br />

Zhu et al. (2008) <strong>in</strong>vestigated the very diverse microbial consortia associated with the <strong>in</strong>troduced<br />

sponge Suberites aurantiacus <strong>in</strong> Pearl Harbor but demured from suggest<strong>in</strong>g which if any of<br />

the species may not be native.<br />

& Kohlmeyer, 1971<br />

Kohlmeyer (1969, as Cytospora sp.) reported this Western Atlantic mar<strong>in</strong>e mangrove fungus from<br />

Pearl Harbor from Rhizophora mangle, based upon 1968 collections. In describ<strong>in</strong>g this as a new<br />

species, Kohlmeyer & Kohlmeyer (1971) noted further material from Coconut Isl<strong>and</strong>, also collected<br />

<strong>in</strong> 1968. The Kohlmeyers suggested that this host-specific fungus was <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong> 1902 with<br />

Rhizophora from Florida. Cytospora rhizophorae has been implicated <strong>in</strong> widespread dieback <strong>and</strong><br />

mortality of Rhizophora mangle <strong>in</strong> Puerto Rico (Wier et al., 2006).
