Extract

Idotea pelagica Leach is typically found on exposed shores among barnacles and stunted fucoid algae. It has been recorded from Norway to the coast of France, excluding the low salinity waters of the inner Baltic (Naylor, 1972). Studies have been made of its feeding (Naylor, 1955a), external morphology (Naylor, 1955 b) and ecological distribution (Naylor, 1955 c).
