Previously Cycliophorans have been recorded on Norway Lobsters collected in Kattegat, Denmark; near Naples, Italy; Denmark; Norway; Sweden; the Faroe Islands and North America. (Note: the Symbion on American Lobster has since been described as S. americanus and those on European Lobster are also believed to be different.) |
