10. Gammarus lacustris Sars, 1863 View in CoL
Synonyms: Rivulogammarus lacustris auct.; Gammarus pulex sensu Sars (1890 -95); non Cancer pulex Linnaeus, 1758 ; Rivulogammarus scandinavicus S. Karaman, 1931 .
Description and illustrations: Sars 1890 -95, p. 503, pl. 177-2 (as G. pulex ); Økland 1969, p. 132, figs 16-23.
Ecology and habitat: Dealt with in detail by Økland (1969). G. lacustris lives in lakes, ponds and slow moving rivers at places where the water is not too acidic and too deficient in calcium.
Distribution: See Segerstråle (1954) and Økland (1969, fig.2). This species occurs in most of Norway, but has not been reported from Østfold and Agder, while there are no reports from Lofoten-Vesterålen either. Around Bergen G. lacustris has been recently discovered by Bjerknes (pers. comm.). Outside Norway, G. lacustris has a very wide holarctic distribution at northerly latitudes.
