Abstract

New records of the mantis shrimp, Rissoides desmaresti, are presented from broad scale regional environmental characterization surveys of the south coast, eastern English Channel, River Thames and the east coast regions of the UK. These records include the most northern sampling of this species off the coast of the UK, and emphasize the importance of large scale surveys in providing important ecological information on nationally scarce species.
