Conchoecia skogsbergi(Iles), a halocyprid ostracod new to the Norwegian sea

Abstract

A female of Conchoecia Skogsbergi (Iles) is recorded and described from the Norwegian Sea. This extends the known northern limit of this species in the Atlantic from 40°N to 66°N. The presence of this species in the Norwegian Sea may be due to the influx of warm water via the North Atlantic Drift.
