Water net
The water net (genus ''Hydrodictyon'') is a taxon of green algae of the family Hydrodictyaceae. ''Hydrodictyon'' like clean, eutrophic water and has become a pest in New Zealand, where it has been recently introduced. The name ''water net'' comes from the (usually pentagonal or hexagonal) mesh structure of their colonies, which can extend several decimeters.
==Reproduction==
Algae in the genus can reproduce asexually or sexually. Asexual reproduction takes place by biflagellated (having two flagella) zoospores formed by the thousands inside a cell. However, the zoospores hardly move, as they are packed very densely. The zoospores form a cell wall, become cylindrical in shape, and arrange themselves in a hexagonal pattern, much like the mature tissue. The mother cell disintegrates, releasing the daughter net, which is so small you need a microscope to see it.
During sexual reproduction, which takes place by iso-gametes (gametes of the same size) even smaller than the zoospores, the iso-gametes escape through a hole in the cell wall of the mother cell. Two gametes then fuse, forming a zygote, which then develops a thick cell wall and becomes angular in shape. After a rest period, 2-5 zoospores, which are bigger than the ones formed by asexual reproduction, are produced. The zoospores then enlarge into polygonal cells. The cytoplasm of the cells then divide into new zoospores which lose their flagella and form a new net by lying against each other.
