"Axius serratus" is a species of thalassinidean crustacean found off the Atlantic coast of Canada and the United States, from Nova Scotia to Maryland [cite journal |quotes=no |doi=10.1163/15685400152682692 |title=Two sympatric species of "Axius" from the north-west Atlantic (Decapoda, Thalassinidea, Axiidae) |author=Brian Kensley |journal=Crustaceana|volume=74 |issue=9 |year=2001 |pages=951–962] . It is capable of living in areas which are so polluted that other benthic animals cannot survive [cite journal |quotes=no |journal=Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences |title=Computer simulation and sedimentological implications of burrowing by "Axius serratus" |author=Michael J. Risk, Ronald D. Venter, S. George Pemberton & Dale E.
