Müller, 1776 Ecology: FT, ST Distribution: PA Habitat: ES, SL Comments: Occurrences of this species in inland saline water bodies of Europe are all probably the result of deliberate introduction as a food source. The Caspian Sea was stocked with the species during 1939–41 , but it was misidentified and treated as Alitta succinea for two decades ( Hartman 1960 ). It also occurs in the Aral Sea ( Andreev et al. 1992 ) and Black Sea ( Manoleli 1980 ).
