The Blood Systems of Safoella and Spirographis. by D The Blood Systems of Safoella and Spirographis. By D. W. Ewer (From the Zoology Department, University of Birmingham.) With 10 Text-figures. 1. INTRODUCTION. THE respiratory blood-pigment chlorocruorin is found only in sabellid, serpulid, and chlorhaemid polyehaete worms. The peculiarities and function of this pigment, together with the physiology of respiration and blood circulation in sabellids, have been studied by Fox and his collaborators (Fox, 1926, 1932, 1933, 1934, 1938; Eoche and Fox, 1933; E. F. Ewer and Fox, 1940). Before further work can be done on these lines it is desirable to have a more detailed knowledge than hitherto of the anatomy of the blood system in the animals concerned. It was for this reason that the present investigation was under- taken. A study has been made of the anatomy of the blood system of Sabella pavonina Savigny, and this has been compared with that of Spirographis spallanzanii Viviani. The latter species is so closely related to the former that Claparede (1868-71, p. 418) remarked: 'les jeunes Spiro- graphes sont done de vraies Sabelles.' 2. PREVIOUS WORK. The anatomy of the blood system of Sabella was studied by Milne Edwards (1838). He described the arrangement of blood-vessels which could be seen by means of a dorsal dissec- tion. In the same year Grube (1838) gave an account of the anatomy of the blood system of Spirographis. His descrip- tion was based on the observation of living material and the dissection of fixed specimens. He made accurate observations on the movement of the blood in the crown. Both authors 588 D. W. EWER described a dorsal vessel running over the surface of the gut, though Grube was very doubtful about the length of this vessel. They both described the ventral vessel with the curious lateral coilings of the paired ring vessels which lead out of it in each segment. Grube described the vessels of the thorax, and, with particular accuracy, the two longitudinal lateral vessels in the abdomen. In 1873 Clarapede redescribed the anatomy of the blood system of Spirographis. He appears to have used only fine hand-cut sections. He was able to show that the earlier authors had been wrong in describing a dorsal vessel over the surface of the gut. He showed that the gut is surrounded by a sinus, replaced anteriorly by a plexus over the oesophagus. He stated that not only the vessels to the crown but also the ventral vessel arise from this plexus. Jaquet (1886) re-examined the blood system of Spiro- graphis. He rediscovered the paired lateral vessels which had been missed by Claparede. In his description of the thorax he followed that of Claparede in every detail. Meyer (1888) once again described the blood system of Spirographis. He figured and described only the main vessels. He confirmed' the existence of a gut sinus, and showed that over the oesophagus the sinus concentrated to form a dorsal vessel which carried the greater part of the blood from the gut sinus to the crown. The blood from the crown returned by definite circum-oesophageal vessels to the ventral vessel. Meyer does not draw or describe the plexus found by Claparede around the oesophagus, but it is apparent from his general description that he was aware that it was there. De Saint-Joseph (1894) published a description of Sab el la in which he confirmed the presence of a gut sinus and also of lateral vessels. He did not describe the thorax. There have been a number of descriptions of the structure of the crown filaments, which have been reviewed by Nicol (1930), whose paper includes an accurate description of the structure of the vessels of the filaments and pinnules of Sabella. The accounts of the blood systems of the animals described as Sabella alveolata by Williams (1851) and of Sabella BLOOD SYSTEM OF SABEUA 589 arenilega by Cosmovici (1879) have sometimes been com- pared with descriptions of Sabella pavonina. They refer, however, to Sabellaria alveolata (L.) and Bran- chiomma vesiculosum (Montagu), respectively. 3. MATERIAL AND METHODS. Sabella was sent to Birmingham from Plymouth, and from Millport in Scotland, while Spirographis was collected at Eoscoff in Brittany.1 Paraffin sections cut to a thickness of 10 and 20ft were used. Material was fixed in Bouin-Hollande, Duboscq-Brazil, Schau- dinn, Champy, Flemming, Hermann, and Camoy. The fixative described by Keilin (1920) was also used. Of these the best results were obtained with Duboscq-Brazil for Sabella and with Keilin's fixative for Spirographis. Sections were stained in Heidenhain's iron haematoxylin, Delafield's haematoxylin and orange G or eosin, Mallory's triple stain, and Mann's methyl blue and eosin. A modification of the method of staining blood by the benzi- dine reaction described by Pickworth (1934) was used. Whole worms were fixed in a 4 per cent, solution of formaldehyde in sea-water for two days and then washed repeatedly in sea-water to remove the formaldehyde. The material was afterwards stored in sea-water saturated with thymol. Material thus preserved has retained its staining power for at least a year. When required the material was washed in running water and then sectioned on a freezing microtome and stained as described by Pickworth. Thick sections of 100-250/u. were used. Small worms were stained by the modification of the benzidine technique described by Slonimsky (1927). Living worms were first washed in tap water before being treated with the reagents, as sea-water produces a yellow incrustation. This method has the disadvantage of being useful only for small and living specimens. The reagents will not penetrate into large specimens. Small living worms were used to observe the directions of flow of the blood through the transparent tissues. 1 My thanks are due to the Director and StaS of the Laboratoire Lacaze- Duthiers at Roscoff for their hospitality and help.

The blood system of Sabella will be described in detail and those differences which are found in Spirographis will then be given. The body of Sabella is divided into two regions; anteriorly the head and thorax, composed of a variable number of seg- ments from six to twelve, and posteriorly the abdomen, with segments up to the number of about three hundred. In describing the anatomy of the blood system it is convenient to start with the abdomen. 1. The Abdomen. The general organization of the blood system in the abdomen may be seen by an examination of Text-figs. 1 and 2. The vascular system in the abdomen is organized into (a) the longitudinal vessels—gut sinus, paired lateral vessels and ventral vessel—and (b) the circular vessels of each segment—ring vessels, lateral connective vessels, segmental dorsal vessels, notopodial vessels, neuropodial vessels, trans-septal vessels, and ventral gland-shield vessels. The Gut Sinus (or peri-intestinal sinus).—In a freshly dissected specimen or in a small transparent worm the gut sinus is immediately recognizable (Text-fig. 1, g.s.). The blood can be seen to be carried forward by the peristalsis of the sinus wall. The sinus runs the whole length of the worm from the hindmost segment to the anterior septum of segment III. In each seg- ment it receives a pair of ring vessels (Text-fig. 1, r.v.) which come into it ventro-laterally. The Ventral Vessel.—The ventral vessel (Text-fig. 1, v.v.) runs backwards along the whole length of the worm from the posterior portion of segment II. It lies in the ventral mesentery above the giant fibres and nerve-cord (Text-fig. 3, v.v.). The vessel is circular in cross-section and may reach a diameter of 100/L*. It is covered with black cells (Text-fig. 3, &.C.).1 From the ventral vessel arise a pair of ring vessels as 1 These cells containing black granules have been called 'chloragogen as.. s.dv d.mb L.v U so D !

The Lateral Vessels.—These vessels (Text-fig. 1, l.v.) can be seen through the skin in small living worms as two zigzag lines running along the whole length of the body in a latero-dorsal position. They run forward as far as the posterior septum of segment II. The lateral vessels are joined to the ring vessels in each segment by two lateral connective vessels (Text- fig. 1, I.e.). On each side of each segment the lateral vessels give off two blind-ending branches—the segmental dorsal and the notopodial vessels (Text-fig. 1, s.d.v. and not.v.). If one of the lateral vessels is followed forwards along the dorsal muscle block beneath which it runs, its relations may be understood.

  • Some Quantitative Aspects of Feeding in Sabellid and Serpulid Fan Worms
    J. mar. bioI. Ass. U.K. (I957) 36, 309-316 309 Printed in Great Britain SOME QUANTITATIVE ASPECTS OF FEEDING IN SABELLID AND SERPULID FAN WORMS By R. PHILLIPS DALES Bedford College, University of London INTRODUCTION It is apparent, from J0rgensen's recent review (1955) of quantitative aspects of filter feeding in invertebrates, that virtually nothing is known of the rate of filtering in polychaete suspension feeders, of which the sabellid and serpulid fan worms are perhaps the most important. There seems to be little variation in the filter-feeding mechanism in different sabellid and serpulid polychaetes. The most detailed account of the feeding mechanism of these worms is that of Sabella published by Nicol (1930) with a resume of earlier work on sabellids and serpulids. Some in• formation on feeding and the anatomy of the crown in other genera may be found in the works of Soulier, 1891 (Serpula, Hydroides, Protula, Branchi• omma, Spirographis and Myxicola), Johansson, 1927 (Serpula and Pomato• ceros) and Thomas, 1940 (Pomatoceros). That the crown arises as a paired structure from the prostomium was shown by Wilson (1936) in Branchiomma. In adults, the crown may retain a clearly divided form, as in many serpulids such as Pomatoceros, or form an almost continuous single cone as in Myxicola or Salmacina. It is not, however, the purpose of the present paper to describe these variations in morphology, but to present some quantitative data on the filtering process. The species investigated were those which could be ob• tained in sufficient quantity at Plymouth. The results of experiments on the sabellids, Myxicola infundibulum (Renier) and Sabella pavonina Savigny, and on the serpulids, Pomatoceros triqueter (L.), Hydroides norvegica (Gunnerus), Spirorbis borealis Daudin, and Salmacina dysteri (Huxley) are presented here.

Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, The Netherlands cBamfield Marine Sciences Centre, Bamfield, British Columbia, Canada, V0R 1B0 Received 19 December 2005; accepted 2 June 2006 Abstract Phylogenetic relationships of (19) serpulid taxa (including Spirorbinae) were reconstructed based on 18S rRNA gene sequence data. Maximum likelihood, Bayesian inference, and maximum parsimony methods were used in phylogenetic reconstruction. Regardless of the method used, monophyly of Serpulidae is confirmed and four monophyletic, well- supported major clades are recovered: the Spirorbinae and three groups hitherto referred to as the Protula-, Serpula-, and Pomatoceros-group. Contrary to the taxonomic literature and the hypothesis of opercular evolution, the Protula- clade contains non-operculate (Protula, Salmacina) and operculate taxa both with pinnulate and non-pinnulate peduncle (Filograna vs. Vermiliopsis), and most likely is the sister group to Spirorbinae. Operculate Serpulinae and poorly or non-operculate Filograninae are paraphyletic. It is likely that lack of opercula in some serpulid genera is not a plesiomorphic character state, but reflects a special adaptation. r 2007 Gesellschaft fu¨r Biologische Systematik.

Initially it was found only in Corio Bay, but during the past fiveyears it has spread so that it now occurs throughout the western half of Port Phillip Bay. • Densities of Sabella in many parts of the bay remain low but densities are usually higher (up to 13/m2 ) in deeper water and they extend into shallower depths in calmer regions. • Sabella larvae probably require a 'hard' surface (shell fragment, rock, seaweed, mollusc or sea squirt) for initial attachment, but subsequently they may use their own tube as an anchor in soft sediment . • Changes to fish communities following the establishment of Sabella were analysed using multidimensional scaling and BACI (Before, After, Control, Impact) design analyses of variance.

  • Allozyme Variation in the Marine Fanworm Sabella Spallanzanii: Comparison of Native European and Introduced Australian Populations
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 152: 131-143, 1997 Published June 26 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 1 Allozyme variation in the marine fanworm Sabella spallanzanii: comparison of native European and introduced Australian populations Jane Andrew, Robert D. Ward* CSIRO Division of Marine Research, GPO Box 1538, Hobart. Tasmania 7001, Australia ABSTRACT. Three Austral~an(Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, Adelaide, South Australia. Port Ph~llipBay, Victoria) and four European (Roscoff, Atlantic; Alicante, Carteau, and Marseille, all from the Mediterranean Sea) populations of Sabella spallanzanii were exam~nedfor variation at 23 allozyme loci. Levels of genetlc variation were high, with average heterozygosities per locus ranging from 0.20 to 0.21 for the Australian collections, and from 0.23 to 0.27 for the European collections. The 3 Australian collections were genetically very closely related to one another, with no stat~st~callysignificant differ- ences at any of the 15 variable locl. This suggests either an introduction to one port, with a subsequent spread to other areas, or separate introductions with subsequent extensive gene flow. The 4 European collections showed I~m~ted,but significant, d~fferent~ationamong themselves at 10 of 18 variable loc~ Much of the: heterogeneity reflected differences betlveen the Roscoff (Atlantic) collection and the 3 Mediterranean collect~ons.The Koscoff collect~onwas Iess variable, In terms of both heterozygos~ty and mean numbers of allelrs, than the hiled~terraneancollections The Australian collect~onswere more closely rclated to the Xlrditerranean collections (mean Nei distance = 0.040) than to the Roscoff collection (mean Nei distance = 0.084). If a Mediterranean origin is assumed, then the introduction to Australia was accompanied by the loss of about 18% of the original variation.

  • Chaetal Loss and Replacement in Pseudopotamilla Reniformis (Sabellida, Annelida)
    Invertebrate Biology 133(3): 261–273. © 2014, The American Microscopical Society, Inc. DOI: 10.1111/ivb.12061 Chaetal loss and replacement in Pseudopotamilla reniformis (Sabellida, Annelida) Glafira D. Kolbasova,1,a Alexander B. Tzetlin,2 and Elena K. Kupriyanova3 1 Department of Invertebrate Zoology, Moscow State University, Moscow 119991, Russia 2 Pertsov White Sea Biological Station, Moscow State University, Moscow 119991, Russia 3 The Australian Museum, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia Abstract. Chaetae are continually being replaced during the life of a polychaete, but the process of chaetal degeneration during replacement is still poorly known. Chaetal loss occurs either one at a time through special degenerative sites, or all chaetae in a chaetal sac are lost simultaneously in the absence of degenerative sites. Old chaetae can be either resorbed inside the coelom or shed. This study describes chaetal degradation, loss, and sub- sequent replacement during experimentally induced regeneration in the sabellid polychaete Pseudopotamilla reniformis. During post-traumatic regeneration in P. reniformis, abdominal- type chaetae fall from the chaetal sac simultaneously without degenerative sites, and are replaced by thoracic-type chaetae. Chaetal sac degradation occurs in three main stages: (1) formation of numerous lysosomes and small electron-transparent vesicles in follicle cell cytoplasm; (2) disintegration of follicular cell membranes; and (3) disintegration of follicular cell cytoplasm. Description of changes during parapodial transformation allows identifica- tion of signs of degradation that can serve as histological indicators of chaetal degeneration in a wide range of polychaetes. Our study suggests that chaetal degeneration and loss in polychaetes can occur either with degenerative sites or without them, depending on the type of chaetal replacement.

  • A3a.2 BENTHOS A3a.2.1 Introduction A3a.2.2 UK Context
    Offshore Energy SEA A3a.2 BENTHOS A3a.2.1 Introduction Available information relating to the benthos of the UKCS has been reviewed in successive SEAs – where appropriate in terms of three divisions; offshore, nearshore (to approximately 5km) from shore, and intertidal (littoral). These distinctions also correspond broadly to differences in survey methods and the coverage of both individual studies and regional programmes. In recent years there have been a number of additional data compilations and analyses, notably the Marine Natural Area profile (Jones et al. 2004) by English Nature (now Natural England), the UKSeaMap marine landscape classification (Connor et al. 2006) and the Mapping European Seabed Habitats (MESH) programme (MESH Partnership 2008), and some additional acquisition of data. Similarly, there have been developments in terms of conservation with OSPAR establishing a list of threatened and/or declining species and habitats in the North-East Atlantic, revisions to the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, and site designations. Increasing attention has also been focused on the assessment of changes in benthic community structure and function, in relation to the effects of regional climate change. A3a.2.2 UK context Over a period of nearly one hundred years, the biology of the seabed has been studied in the context of fisheries ecology and, latterly, in relation to biogeographical patterns of species distribution. More recently, numerous smaller spatial scale investigations of the seabed have been carried out, concerned primarily with environmental monitoring of various industrial activities (e.g. oil and gas developments, aggregate extraction, and sewage sludge dumping. Benthic communities identified by various authors show consistency at a high level, and strong correlation with habitat (or substrate) type.
