  Limacina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sea butterflies from the family Limacinidae (Blainville, 1823) have evolved from fossils from the Middle Miocene.
Shell sizes and thicknesses vary within Limacina, but they are still large enough to fit the snail.
In arctic and temperate waters, the diameter of the shell does not superseed 15 mm.

The thecosomatous pteropods in fiftysix plankton samples (28 horizontal surface and 28 vertical, generally 2000 m, hauls) were studied from the systematical and distributional points of view.
Pteropoda do not exhibit conspicuous differences between veliger and adult shells, but there is quite an important difference between the protoconch and the rest of the shell, the former being very similar in several Gastropoda.
The division of the genus Limacina into 3 subgenera, as proposed by Van der Spoel (1967), is also partially confirmed by the present study.

Data from an 8 h transect across the Great South Channel (GSC) were analyzed on a continuum of spatial scales from coarse-scale (100 km) to micro-scale (mm).
Abundance was determined for 12 taxonomic groups including: invertebrate larvae (ophiopluteus larvae, anthozoa larvae: Cerianthus sp.), hydroids, copepods (Calanus sp., Pseudocalanus sp.), pteropods (Limacina retroversa, Clione sp.), ctenophores (Mnemiopsis sp., Pleurobrachia sp.), larvacea (Oikopleura sp.), chaetognatha (Sagitta sp.), and diatom colonies (Chaetoceros socialis).
On occasion, veliger larvae of Limacina retroversa were found in spawning patches at concentrations exceeding 600/ml within a few centimeters of the air-sea interface.

As these fish feed on zooplankton but not on dinoflagellates, it has been suggested that the zooplankton, feeding on the dinoflagellates, may act as vectors of PSP.
In the stomach of herrings from the Bay of Fundy kill, White (1977) was able to identify thecosomatous pteropods (Limacina retroversa), and the stomach contents contained PSP.
In an experimental study, a similar amount of PSP (21 µg/fish) caused paralysis and death in herrings.
