Catalan translation:limícoles
Explanation:
I agree with Berni and Sheila above that it probably refers to the Dutch word "wadenlopen". However, I can't imagine mice wading, so I guess it refers to animals which forage in the mud left by the tides.

Therefore, I suggest "espècies limícoles".

From Termcat:

"limícola




* ca limícola, adj
* es limícola
* fr limicole
* en limicolous

<Ciències de la vida > Ecologia>

Que habita en llocs fangosos. "
