    • 1940, Maṣlaḥat Maṣāyid al-Asmāk, Notes and memoirs - Fisheries Research Directorate:
      In the littoral zone proper, there are species which are limited to very shallow water (stenobath forms) and those which extend down to 20-30 fathoms (eurybath forms).
    • 1957, Jan H. Stock, The Pycnogonid Family Austrodecidae, page 23:
      Since, moreover, the species of Nymphon are apparently far less stenobath and stenoclimatic than those of Austrodecus, it is difficult to explain this distribution pattern on the sole basis of geographic speciation.
    • 1989, Henri Fontaine, Suudi Gafoer, The Pre-Tertiary Fossils of Sumatra and Their Environments, page 68:
      Abundant dasycladaceae indicate a shallow warm environment with photophilic, stenotherm and stenobath algae.
