Description
HOMARUS GAMMARUS (LINNAEUS, 1758)
Type locality: Marstrand, west coast of Sweden, approximately 57°53′N, 11°32′E (Holthuis, 1991).
Known range: eastern Atlantic from north-western Norway south to the Azores and the Atlantic coast of Morocco; also along the north-west coast of Black Sea and in the Mediterranean (Holthuis, 1991: 60).
Occurrence at vents or seeps: off Kattegat, Denmark (see below).
Remarks: Levin et al. (2000: 23) listed the occurrence of Homarus vulgaris on ‘bubbling reefs’ off Kattegat, Denmark, citing Jensen et al. (1992) as the original source of the record. Apparently no specimens were collected from this site. The species H. vulgaris Milne-Edwards is considered a junior synonym of H. gammarus (Linnaeus), known as the European lobster.
