Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... Soort onder de roofzeeslakken die inheems is in het midden en westen van de Middellandse Zee, de Indische Oceaan en de Zuid-Chinese Zee. Werd in het verleden, sinds de oudheid, gebruikt voor de productie van een dure paarse kleurstof; de slak maakt een melkachtige stof aan die bij contact met lucht verandert in een krachtige en blijvende kleurstof. |
