From other sources
Environment The stocks of this species were collected from varied sources, for the species seems to be a fairly common and widespread one, found both in brackish and fresh waters. Some of the stocks are from animals which were isolated 3 years ago from an overflow pool along the Patapsco River in Patapsco State Forest, Maryland. Exconjugant stocks were obtained from mixtures of these clones with clones of the same species, isolated from a collection froin San Fraiicisquito Creek, California. Other stocks came originally from exconjugant clones, obtained from a mixture of clones froin two different collections - Berkeley, California ; and Pine Orchard, Connecticut. All of the above-mentioned stocks were collected from fresh water sources. Four stocks of E. aediculatus came from four different localities along Back River, Maryland, a slightly brackish estuary of the Chesapeake Bay, near Baltimore. [details]
