Identification
Distribution
Occurs along the
south
North Sea coasts, the English Channel, Norway
and the Atlantic coast of
western Europe.
Also recorded from the Mediterranean Sea, South
Africa and the North
American Atlantic coast. However, not all of
these records might be
genuine records of Sthenelais limicola, because
the taxonomy of the
genus is unclear and the species are frequently
misidentified.
