'' C. septemspinosa'' is the only species in the genus to occur in the north-western Atlantic Ocean, while in the north-eastern Atlantic, '' C. crangon'' and '' C. allmani'' occur. With the exception of the important commercial species ''C. crangon'', however, the distributions of ''Crangon'' species are poorly characterised. The greater number of species in the Pacific Ocean is thought to indicate that the genus originated in the Pacific. Species ''Crangon'' contains the following extant species: *'' Crangon affinis'' De Haan, 1849 *'' Crangon alaskensis'' Lockington, 1877 *'' Crangon alba'' Holmes, 1900 *'' Crangon allmani'' Kinahan, 1860 *''Crangon amurensis'' Bražnikov, 1907 *''Crangon capensis'' Stimpson, 1860 *''Crangon cassiope'' De Man, 1906 *'' Crangon crangon'' ( Linna ...
