Styela clava is now considered as partially native (in Russia). But it is not native from European Russia. Therefore, should we delete it from "partially native"?

Styela clava is considered native in the North West Pacific from Japan to Sea of Okhotsh (Millar 1960, Lutzen 1999). In European waters (Mediterranean, and North Atlantic), it is considered as "Introduced". NS Lützen, J. (1998). Styela clava Herdman (Urochordata, Ascidiacea), a successful immigrant to North West Europe: ecology, propagation and chronology of spread. Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen, 52(3-4), 383-391.
