Longiflagrum Explained

Longiflagrum is an estuarine genus of crustacean in the order Tanaidacea.[1]

Ecology

All five Longiflagrum species occur in shallow coastal habitats such as the intertidal zone, eelgrass beds and estuaries where the salinity fluctuates over the range 5–34 psu,[2] [3] and they are a frequent and abundant element of the soft-bottom ecosystem.
