Leptosynapta inhaerens (O.F. Müller 1776) (Echinodermata, Holothuroidea): A new record for the Belgian marine waters
Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel
This is the first record of Leptosynapta inhaerens (O.F. Müller, 1776) in Belgian marine waters
and adds a second apodid species, the first being Leptosynapta minuta (Becher, 1906), to the Belgian holothuroid
fauna. This paper contains a morphological description of the specimens, the habitat characteristics, and
includes a world distribution map of L. inhaerens. Relationships between L. inhaerens and environmental data
are discussed.
