Abstract
THE literature dealing with the wood-boring bivalve, Teredo, is extensive. The majority of investigations, however, have dealt with floating structures and little attention has been paid to the problem of vertical distribution. During a recent investigation into an attack of T. norvegica on wooden structures at Loch Ryan, Scotland, information was obtained regarding the vertical distribution of this species.
