本报告首次记录了南半球独居海鞘鱼。2010年4月在新西兰南岛纳尔逊市码头采集了成年被囊动物标本。利用线粒体细胞色素氧化酶I （COI）基因序列和形态特征鉴定该被囊动物为新西兰和南半球首次报道的C. savignyi。这项研究强调了分子方法识别入侵物种的力量，以及新西兰对其现有海洋无脊椎动物生物多样性进行广泛、系统的分子清单的需求。
This report documents the first recording of the solitary ascidian Ciona savignyi in the Southern Hemisphere. Adult tunicate specimens were collected from the Nelson city marina (South Island, New Zealand) in April 2010. Both mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene sequences and morphological characters were used to identify the tunicates as C. savignyi – the first report of this species in New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere. This study highlights the power of molecular methods for invasive species identification and New Zealand’s need for an extensive, systematic molecular inventory of its existing marine invertebrate biodiversity.
