Introduction Although a relatively large number of papers dealing with the early stages from the first cleavage to the trochosphere of Polychaeta are found scattered in literature, the contributions to our knowledge concerning the metamorphosis are comparatively scanty, and, more­ over, only a few attempts have previously been made to trace suc­ cessively the development by rearing larvae from eggs to metamor­ phosis. The chief important pioneer studies on the later development of Pclychaetc were made by Agassix (1885), Claparede et Mecznikow (1869), E. B. Wilson (1882), Fevv·kes (1885), Malaquin (1893), Hacker (1896), Gravely (1909), Herpin (1926) and others. Re­ cently Aiyar (1831), Day (1934, 1936), Nolte (1936, 1938) and Segrove (1941) have rendered a great service to our knowledge of the development of Polychaetes, but the most valuable contributions must be due to D. P. Wilson (1929-1936), who published a lot of the important accounts on the development of about a dozen species belonging to the various families. As already pointed out by Wilson (1926), the development of seventeen among thirty-six families of Polychaetes has been studied more or less in detail, but information as to the development of the rest remains, if any, fragmentary. Such being the case, it would accordingly be futile to attempt to give detailed diagnoses of larvae of different families ;]nd genen: of Poly­ chaetes and to observe the metamorphosis from the standpoint of the phylogenetic relationships. For the sake of affording a basis for more complete study on the Polychaete larvae, the present investigation has been carried out during the last two seasons at the Akkeshi Marine Biological Labora­ tory. The present study starts in general with the early trochosphere and finishes with the yO)Jng worm a few days after metamorphosis; the cleavage and very early stages having been excluded. The chief interest centres at the metamorphosis and a special 'attension has been paid to those characters which appear to have phylogenetic values respective to different larvae. The technical 118 S. Okuda terms which are adopted in describing different stages and larval organs existing during the development, are based on those defined by Hacker (1897) and Gravely (1909). Before going further it is with real pleasure that I have to offer my most grateful thanks to Prof. Dr. Tohru Uchida, through whose continued interest and encouragement the work has taken its present shape. The expense of the present investigation was partly defrayed out of a grant from the Foundation for the Promotion of Scientific and Industrial Research of Japan. II. Material and Methods The material forming the subject of the present investigation includes the following 12 species belonging to the 9 families. Eunicidae 1) Lumbriconereis latreilli Audouin et M. Edwards Nereidae 2) Neanthes sp. Ariciidae 3) Nainereis laevigata (Grube) 4) H ap7 oscoloplos kerguelensis (Mclntosh) Spionidae r:;\ V/ (0. F. Thlullcr) Cirratulidae 6) Ci1'r'Citulus cirratus (0. F. Muller) Terebellidae 7) LanassCI nuda (Moore) Arenicolidae 8) A 1'enicola claparedii Levinsen Sabellidae 9) Chone teres Bush 10) Potamilla myriops Marenzeller Serpulidae 11) Spirorbis spirillum Linne 12) Spirorbis nipponicus Okuda Development of Annelida Polychaeta I 119 Though diverse in the spawning habits, all of these species, with a f'ingle exception of the species, Potamilla myriops, lay their eggs in the form of jelly-mass which affords with both food and protection for the development of the larvae. Lumbricone1'eis latreilli, N eauthes sp., Haplo8coloplos kerguelensis, Spio filicornis, Lanassa 1I11da, Cirratulus cirratus and Chone teres collect their eggs in the mass of jelly, whatever the shape may be, attached to the ground or the sea­ weeds. The eggs of Nainereis laevigata are discharged in gelatinous ribbon~like clusters knit loosely together. Arenicola claparedii forms a tube-like egg-mass deposited around the parent's body. In Spirorbis spirillwn the eggs are laid inside the tubes of the parent, while in Sp. nip]Jonicus the operculum serves as a brood-pouch. Only in Potcmdlla myriops the sexual products are discharged directly into

Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of Russian Academy of Sciences (IPEE RAS), 33 Leninskiy prosp., Moscow, Russia, 119071, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This is the second paper of the series started with Ippolitov and Rzhavsky (2014) providing detailed descriptions of recent spirorbin tubes, their mineralogy and ultrastructures. Here we describe species of the tribe Spirorbini Chamberlin, 1919 that includes a single genus Spirorbis Daudin, 1800. Tube ultrastructures found in the tribe are represented by two types — irregularly oriented prismatic (IOP) structure forming the thick main layer of the tube and in some species spherulitic prismatic (SPHP) structure forming an outer layer and, sometimes, inner. Mineralogically tubes are either calcitic or predom- inantly aragonitic. Correlations of morphological, ultrastructural, and mineralogical char- acters are discussed. All studied members of Spirorbini can be organized into three groups that are defined by both tube characters and biogeographical patterns and thus, likely correspond to three phylogenetic clades within Spirorbini.

  • Seafloor Geomorphology As Benthic Habitat
    c0019 19 Geomorphic Features and Benthic Habitats of a Sub-Arctic Fjord: Gilbert Bay, Southern Labrador, Canada Alison Copeland1, Evan Edinger1,2, Trevor Bell1, Philippe LeBlanc1, Joseph Wroblewski3, Rodolphe Devillers1 1Geography Department, Memorial University, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 2Biology Department, Memorial University, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, 3Ocean Sciences Centre, Memorial University, St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada Abstract Gilbert Bay is a shallow-water, low-gradient, sub-Arctic fjord in southeastern Labrador, Atlantic Canada. The bay is composed of a series of basins separated by sills that shal- low toward the head. A major side bay with shallow but complex bathymetry includes important spawning and juvenile fish habitat for a genetically distinct local population of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). Six acoustically distinguishable substrate types were identified in the fjord, with two additional substrate types recognized from field obser- vations, including areas outside multibeam sonar coverage. Ordination and Analysis of Similarity (ANOSIM) of biotic data generalized five habitat types: hard-substrate habitats developed on cobble-boulder gravel and bedrock bottoms; coralline-algae- encrusted hard-substrate habitats; soft-bottom habitats developed on mud or gravelly mud bottoms; current-swept gravel with a unique biotic assemblage; and nearshore ice- scoured gravels in waters shallower than 5 m depth. Greatest within-habitat biodiversity was found in the coralline-algae-encrusted gravel habitat. Key Words: fjord, fiord, sill, basin, coralline algae, epifauna, infauna, sub-Arctic, Labrador, Marine Protected Area s0010 Introduction p0030 Fjords are geomorphic and biological systems of great interest to geomorphol- ogy, oceanography, and marine biology.

Nutter, D.A. Honors Director ______________________________ Date DEHALOPEROXIDASE 3 Abstract Dehaloperoxidase (DHP) is a multifunctional enzyme found in Amphitrite ornata, a sediment-dwelling marine worm. This enzyme possess the structure of a traditional hemoglobin enzyme and serves as the primary oxygen carrier in A. ornata; however, it also possesses peroxidase and peroxygenase capabilities. These secondary oxidative functions provide a remarkable ability for A. ornata to resist the effects of toxic metabolites secreted by other organisms that cohabit its benthic ecosystem. This study will analyze the novel catalytic switching between peroxygenase and peroxidase oxidation mechanisms employed by DHP in response to pH changes. DEHALOPEROXIDASE 4 A pH Dependant Switch in DHP Oxidation Mechanism The terrebellid polychaete Amphitrite ornata is a sediment-dwelling marine worm that inhabits coastal seawaters (Chen, Woodin, Lincoln, & Lovell, 1996). This worm cohabits its benthic ecosystem with various other infaunal marine organisms, many of which have defense mechanisms that involve the secretion of toxic metabolites including halophenols and haloindoles (Lebioda et al., 1999). Examples of marine worms that contaminate benthic ecosystems include Notomastus lobatus, a polychaete, and Saccoglossus kowalevskii, a hemichordate.

He has found that students come to the subject either with very little previous training in biology, or at best with a training which has not been along the lines that would definitely aid them in understanding fossils. Too often fossils are looked upon merely as bits of stone, differing only in form from the rocks in which they are embedded.

Topics reviewed are sexuality patterns, asexual reproduction, gamete attributes, fecundity, spawning and fertilisation, larval development and morphology, larval ecology and behaviour (including larval swimming, feeding, photoresponse, and defences), brooding, settle­ ment and metamorphosis, longevity and mortality. Gonochorism, simultaneous and sequential hermaphroditism are found in the group, the last pattern being apparently under-reported. Asexual reproduction commonly leads to the formation ofcolonies. The egg size range is 40-200 11m in serpulids and 80--230 11m in spirorbids. The sperms with spherical and with elongated heads correspond, respectively, to broadcasting and brooding.
