The eelgrass limpet, also known as the bowl limpet, scientific name †''Lottia alveus'', was a species of sea snail or small limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae, the ''Lottia'' limpets, a genus of true limpets. This species lived in the western Atlantic Ocean. The eelgrass limpet now appears to be totally extinct, but up until the late 1920s, this species was apparently quite common, and was easy to find at low tide in eelgrass beds, in many sheltered localities on the northeastern seaboard of North America. ==Distribution before extinction== This limpet was found from Labrador, Canada, as far south as New York. It supposedly went extinct 60 years before its extinction was noticed (Fall, 2005) ==Habitat== This small limpet used to live on the blades of ''Zostera marina'', a species of seagrass. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eelgrass limpet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
