Distribution Cold temperate to polar. NW Atlantic: rare in coastal waters below 47◦ N latitude, common on continental shelf and in the Gulf Stream. NE Atlantic: common in Norwegian coastal waters and the Norwegian current north to Barents Sea (Svalbard); less frequent in coastal waters south of Norway [details]From regional or thematic species database
Introduced species vector dispersal in Belgian part of the North Sea : Shipping [details]Unreviewed
Alien species Although both its name and shape reminds us of a worm, the shipworm Psiloteredo megotara is a bivalve mollusc. This species drills tunnels in wood and has dispersed very early, hitchhiking in the hulls of wooden ships and driftwood. Its early spread makes it hard to determine where this species originally occurred. It's possible that this species always occurred in Belgian waters but was previously not discovered. Scientist call such species cryptogenic. Psiloteredo megotara is known to occur in Belgian waters since before 1600.
Shipworms have troubled sailors for centuries, because they affect the wood of ships. [details]
