| Summary | A very rare, declining halophilous species, trophically associated with submerged plants of the Baltic Coast (Ruppia maritima, Potamogeton filiformis, Zostera marina, Z. nana, Zannichellia). In Poland it may have become extinct or its populations are in a strong regress. Its known localities (Puck and the environs of Gdańsk) have not been confirmed for several tens of years. The species is threatened due to increasing pollution of coastal waters of the Baltic Sea. Elimination or at least strong limitation of this factor would create the possibility of restitution and maintenance of Macroplea mutica within the borders of Poland. Protected by law. | |
