Does Limnoria lignorum (Rathke) or other cold-water xylophagous limnoriid species exist in southern oceans?

The evidence of collections from various high latitude southern coastlines is cited and the singular absence of any cold-water limnoriid borer noted. The need for further. and possibly extensive, searches for such borers is stressed. i.e. i...
