<i>Distolambrus maltzami</i> (Miers, 1881) (Brachyura: Parthenopidae) with observed and modelled distribution in the North-east Atlantic

Abstract We present the distribution of parthenopid crab species Distolambrus maltzami from North-east Atlantic with a first record UK seas. The D. in Celtic-Biscay area eastern Atlantic, is both described based on recent records survey data and estimated modelling its environmental niche. predicted probability occurrence greatest areas fluctuating tidal currents water masses that are rich chlorophyll-a, cold (minimum bottom temperature lower than 10°C) oxygen-rich. include simple key to distinguish two previously encountered region highlight importance multidisciplinary approach fisheries collection.
