Global distribution of Isognomon isognomon

The Pacific Toothed Oyster can be found widely throughout the Indo-Pacific region and northern Australia. However, through recent observations and occurrence data shown by Global Biodiversity Information Facility Network, the distribution of these crevice-dwelling pterioids is more widespread than previously thought. In addition to the previously thought distribution, Pacific Toothed Oyster can also be found around Eastern coastal areas.
