New record of distribution for the highly endangered limpet Patella ferruginea on the Spanish coasts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 May 2009
Abstract
The mollusc Patella ferruginea, endemic to the Mediterranean, is presently in serious risk of extinction. Although the species was formerly distributed in the western Mediterranean Basin, today its Mediterranean range has contracted to a few restricted areas. This paper reports on the finding of a range extension of the historical distribution of this species in the Iberian Peninsula. The implication of the Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) effect is discussed.
