Abstract
This paper reports the occurrence of a persistent and systematic dying-off of Zostera in the vicinity of Auckland, and the detection of the slime mould Labyrinthula in partially discoloured leaf material from affected areas. The general similarity of the situation to the wasting disease epidemic which took place in the Northern Hemisphere some three decades ago is pointed out, and the ecological implications arc briefly discussed.Keywords
