Jan H. Stock, Thomas M. Iliffe and Dennis Williams (1986). The concept
"anchialine" reconsidered. Stygologia, 2:90-92.
The term "anchialine", coined by Holthuis
(1973), has been provided with a more refined definition, with a
greater ecological load.
The "marginal marine cave" ("marine Randhohle" of Riedl, 1966) is considered
part of the anchialine habitat. The terms "submarine cave" and "littoral
cave" are also defined.
