KHAN1 AND A. J. PAUL2 1 Department of Biology and Ocean Sciences Centre, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1C 5S7 and 2 Seward Marine Center, University of Alaska, Seward, Alaska 99664 ABSTRACT: This study provides further information on the life cycles of 6 piscicolid leeches inhabiting the arcto-boreal region of the northwestern Atlantic and northeastern Pacific oceans. Four species including Pla- tybdella olriki, Platybdella anarrhichae, Oceanobdella sexoculata, and Johanssonia arctica inhabit the Atlantic primarily, but Notostomum (Notostomobdelld) = cyclostomum and Beringbdella rectangulata have been recorded only from the Pacific. Some species (P. olriki, J. arctica, N. cyclostomum, and possibly B. rectangulata) deposit their cocoons on decapod crustaceans and a pycnogonid, whereas others (O. sexoculata and P. anarrhichae) utilize the eggs of host fish. Newly hatched leeches can readily locate their hosts that hatch simultaneously. It appears that 3 species, namely, P. olriki, P. anarrhichae, and O. sexoculata, have annual life cycles, whereas others such as /. arctica, N. cyclostomum, and B. rectangulata live more than 1 yr. The life cycle strategies, which include sites of cocoon deposition and host preferences, ensure that their progeny will successfully locate new hosts after emergence.
