Nursehound ( S. stellaris ) is present in the Northeast Atlantic from southern Scandinavia to Morocco, including the Mediterranean Sea (Stehmann & Bürkel, 1984). Around the British Isles, it is most abundant in shallow waters close to rocky shores in the Irish Sea and English Channel (Ellis et al. , 2005). The eggcases reported to the Great Eggcase Hunt were predominantly from along the southern and western coasts of England and Wales. Material examined. Fifty-eight eggcases were examined. Of these, the majority (n = 45) were from the Great Eggcase Hunt (submitted mainly from southwestern coasts of England). Others were collected during trawl surveys in the Irish Sea (n = 4), examined from museum collections (n = 8; BMNH 1927.3.11.1–4; BMNH 1910.1.18.2 labelled incorrectly as Scyllium canicula BMNH 1940.4.2.1 labelled incorrectly as Scyliorhinus canicula BMNH 2008.10.8.3; BMNH 89.2.1.4496) and from a public aquarium (n = 1).
