First record of the starfish Luidia atlantidea Madsen, 1950 in the Mediterranean Sea, with evidence of persistent populations

The starfish Luidia atlantidea, an echinoderm known hitherto from infralittoral and circalittoral bottoms of the northwestern African coasts, is reported for the first time in the European margin and in the Mediterranean Sea. A total of 31 specimens of different sizes (disc diameters from 0.8 to 2.9...

A total of 31 specimens of different sizes (disc diameters from 0.8 to 2.9 cm) were collected from the mechanized dredges fleet targeting four commercial bivalves (Acanthocardia tuberculata, Callista chione, Chamelea gallina, Donax trunculus) between February and July 2013 in the northern Alboran Sea (southern Spain).

The data provided here, and supported by old specimens collected between 1980-1990, suggests that local populations of L. atlantidea occur in shallow infralittoral soft bottoms of the northern Alboran Sea. This constitutes a new extended northeastern limit for the distribution of L. atlantidea and increases the known number of Luidia species in the Mediterranean Sea.SI202320232015info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Postprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersionhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/320446reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
