Notes on the Didemnidae (Ascidiacea): I. The presence of Didemnum (Leptoclinides) faeröense (Bjerkan) in the Plymouth area
Leptoclinides faeröensis Bjerkan (1905) is a little-known boreal species which has been found only in the Atlantic Ocean (Fig. I). The most northerly record is from a little south of Spitzbergen, the most southerly from 37° 08' N., off the North American coast. It occurs on the coast of Norway...
