| Abstract |
The first record of Musculista senhousia in the Taranto seas (eastern-central Mediterranean Sea) is reported. The species was mostly found on bottoms with pleustophytic algal felt where densities up to 3800 specimens per square metre were estimated. The sizes in the sampled population ranged from 5·16 to 30·59 mm. Two main modal components were detected around 11·67 ± 0·67 mm and 18·00 ± 2·38 mm. |
