Schraderia mardeni (T. E. Bowman, 1974) | |
Schraderia mardeni is a species of amphipod in the family Pontogeneiidae. It was originally described as Dolobrotus mardeni, [1] and was the only species in the genus Dolobrotus, but that genus is now considered a synonym of Schraderia . [2] Discovered by Luis Marden, after whom it is named, Schraderia mardeni is a deep-water Atlantic lobster-bait scavenger or parasite.
