Distribution map of Stephos canariensis by geographical zones
|
| | | | Loc: | | | Canary Islands (Lanzarote Is.: anchialine lava pool) | | | | N: | 1 | | | | Lg.: | | | (552) F: 0,695-0,641; M: 0,641-0,595; {F: 0,64-0,70; M: 0,60-0,64} | | | | Rem.: | salinity: 27 p.1000. Anchialine pool.
Boxshall & al., 1990, p.41) point out: the species of Stephos have not previously been recorded from anchialine habitats.
After Bradford-Grieve (1999 a, p.25) this species belongs to type III (see Genus Stephos). | | | Last update : 14/08/2015 | |
