Distribution In the 1976-1986 period Pontocrates altamarinus was found to occur across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea, with the exception of the coastal zone. This distribution pattern was extended by observations in the coastal zone in the 1994-2001 period. In both periods P. altamarinus had a low distribution frequency and relatively low densities (1976-1986 period: maximum 130 ind./m2; 1994-2001 period: maximum 30 ind./m2). [details]

Description Amphipod with relatively robust body up to 7 mm long. The eyes are very large and round. Its colourvaries between white and yellow with clear brown patches. The head has a short, pointed rostrum arched downwards. [details] Distribution In the 1976-1986 period Pontocrates altamarinus was found to occur across the entire Belgian part of the North Sea, with the exception of the coastal zone. This distribution pattern was extended by observations in the coastal zone in the 1994-2001 period. In both periods P. altamarinus had a low distribution frequency and relatively low densities (1976-1986 period: maximum 130 ind./m2; 1994-2001 period: maximum 30 ind./m2). [details] Habitat Pontocrates altamarinus appears in different sediment types but always with a relatively low occurrence (< 30%). A clear preference for a certain sediment type cannot be identified.
