Ecrobia maritima is a species of very small aquatic snail, an operculate gastropod mollusk in the family Hydrobiidae.[2]

Description

The size of an adult shell reaches 4 mm.

Distribution

Ecrobia maritima live in Pomorie Lake, a hyperhaline lagoon in eastern Bulgarien. Western Europe, Tunesien, the Peloponnesus and the Corinthian Gulf, all in the Ionian Sea, as well as — shockingly — the Black Sea coast in Rumänien, are habitats for E. ventrosa. Both the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea have been home to E. maritima.[3][4]
