Orchestia cavimana was found for the first time on the Estonian coast in 1999.The species inhabits Fucus vesiculosus wrack.The high abundance and biomass values indicate that the species has formed a permanent population in the region.In the coming years O. cavimana will likely expand its distribution area in other parts of the Estonian coastal sea.
