Distribution Populations are known from (1) the Atlantic coast of the Iberian peninsula (Algarve, Bay of Cadiz, Ria de Aveiro estuary, Ria Formosa) (2) the Baleares (island of Menorca), (3) the Meditteranean coast of France (Etang de Thau, Sète harbour, Canal du Rhône à Sète, Etang du Prévost, Etang de Pérols, Liaison Rhône-Fos, Canal d'Arles à Fos, Canal de Caronte), (4) the island of Crete (Spinalonga peninsula), (5) NW Mediterranean (Canal of Sicily, Lazio, Sardinia, Corsica). [details]Ecology Known from oligo-, meso-, mixoeu- and metahaline laggons and coastal marine waters. [details]
Environment Normal salinity range 14–49; so far only two positive samples from the oligohaline reach (S = 2–3), taken at different stations in the Rhône Delta on the Mediterranean coast of France. [details]
Introduction The populations at the Atlantic coasts of southern Spain and Portugal may have originated from Mediterranean lagoons by transfer in ballast water (Cunha et al. 2000: as D. bahirensis), although an indigenous status of the Atlantic populations is not excluded (Wittmann & Ariani 2012a).
