The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A molecular method for identification of the morphologically plastic invasive algal genera Eucheuma and Kappaphycus (Rhodophyta, Gigartinales) in Hawaii (2009, background): “This runs counter to the assumption that the alga would restrict itself to sandcovered habitats and not compete with native corals in the GoM (Chandrasekaran et al. 2008).”
The commercial red seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii—an overview on farming and environment (2011, background): “…introduction of exotic species to new environments, their interactions with endemic species, and its effect on biodiversity were also reported (Russell 1983; Woo 2000; Smith et al. 2002; Conklin and Smith 2005; Pereira and Verlecar 2005; Anon 2006; Vijayalakshmi 2007; Chandrasekaran et al. 2008).”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Many of the most invasive and destructive tropical red algae such as Eucheuma and Kappaphycus are often cultured right next to coral reefs, and significant negative impacts have begun to be recorded (Smith et al. 2002; Chandrasekaran et al. 2008).”
Phyconomy: the extensive cultivation of seaweeds, their sustainability and economic value, with particular reference to important lessons to be learned and transferred from the practice of eucheumatoid farming (2019, background): “Five years after its introduction, reports of ‘invasive’ characteristics were noted (Chandrasekaran et al. 2008; Kamalakannan et al. 2010; Pereira &Verlecar 2005; Tewari et al. 2006).”
