From editor or global species database
Environment Conch Bar Cave, reportedly in excess of 2.5 km long), is the largest and most significant cave in the Turks and Caicos group. The cave is located 500 m inland and consists of multiple levels, the lowest of which is flooded with tidal brackish waters 10 or more meters deep. Our specimens of Stygiomysis clarkei were collectedfrom a small shallow pool about 5 cm deep also containing large numbers
of juvenile Barbouria cubensis. These animals appear to have been stranded in
the pool by receding, probably tidal, water levels. The pools are in the main room
of the cave system but far enough from the entrance to be in almost complete
darkness. Considerable amounts of organic detritus including leaves, twigs, and
land snail shells were observed in the sediments in all parts of the cave. Surface
water salinity was 23 per mille. [details]
