The body is segmented and flattened dorsoventrally with a membranous flipper along the dorsal side. The tail end has a lance-like flipper. It grows up to 8 cm in length and is semi-transparent pink in colour. The head is a mere continuation of the body. Multiple cirri project from the mouth. Recorded distribution in Britain and Ireland Most records are found off the southern coasts of Britain and Ireland as far north as Anglesea and Liverpool Bay, and along the southern North Sea, with scattered records around Scotland, and north east coast of England. Global distribution Most records are found in the southern North Sea and Kattegat, the Celtic Sea and Bay of Biscay, with scattered records in the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean and Black Sea. A few scattered records occur in the Atlantic coast of North and South America, the Indian Ocean and Pacific. https://www.marlin.ac.uk/habitats/detail/85 3 Date: 2015-06-07 Lancelet (Branchiostoma lanceolatum) - Marine Life Information Network Habitat The lancelet inhabits the sandy sublittoral zone at depths down to 30 m. It prefers sand mixed with shells rather than more muddy bottoms as it is not suited to penetrate ground with small particles. Depth range - Identifying features Up to 8 cm in length. Elongated body, pointed at both ends. Multiple cirri extend from the mouth. Lance-like flipper at tail end. Semi-transparent pink in colour. Additional information Although cephalochordates are able to swim, most of their time is spent partially buried in the sand filtering microscopic food particles from the water (Riisgård & Svane, 1999).

  • Abstract Introduction
    Marine and Freshwater Miscellanea III KEY TRAITS OF AMPHIOXUS SPECIES (CEPHALOCHORDATA) AND THE GOLT1 Daniel Pauly and Elaine Chu Sea Around Us, Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C, Canada Email: [email protected] Abstract Major biological traits of amphioxus species (Cephalochordata) are presented with emphasis on the size reached by their 32 valid species in the genera Asymmetron (2 spp.), Branchiostoma (25 spp.), and Epigonichthys (5 spp.) and on related features, i.e., growth parameters and size at first maturity. Overall, these traits combined with features of their respiration, suggest that the cephalochordates conform to the Gill Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT), which relates the growth performance of water-breathing ectotherms to the surface area of their respiratory organ(s). Introduction The small fish-like animals know as ‘lancelet‘ or ‘amphioxius’ belong the subphylum Cephalochordata, which is either a sister group, or related to the ancestor of the vertebrate animals (see Garcia-Fernàndez and Benito-Gutierrez 2008). The cephalochordates consist of 3 families (the Asymmetronidae, Epigonichthyidae and Branchiostomidae), with one genus each, Asymmetron (2 spp.), Branchiostoma (24 spp.) and Epigonichthys (6 spp.), as detailed in Table 1 and SeaLifeBase (www.sealifebase.org). This contribution is to assemble some of the basic biological traits of lancelets (Figure 1), notably the maximum size each of their 34 species can reach, which is easily their most important attribute, though it is often ignored (Haldane 1926). Finally, reported lengths at first maturity of cephalochordates were related to the corresponding, population-specific maximum length, to test whether these animals mature as predicted by the Gill- Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT; see Pauly 2021a, 2021b).

  • New Records of the Lancelet Branchiostoma Lanceolatum in Scottish Waters
    The Glasgow Naturalist (online 2019) Volume 27, Part 1 New records of the lancelet Branchiostoma lanceolatum in Scottish waters M. O’Reilly1, S. Nowacki1, M. Baptie1, E. Gerrie1 & M. MacKenzie2 1Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Angus Smith Building, 6 Parklands Avenue, Eurocentral, Holytown, North Lanarkshire ML1 4WQ 2Scottish Environment Protection Agency, Graesser House, Fodderty Way, Dingwall IV15 9XB 1E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT New records of the lancelet Branchiostoma lanceolatum from Scottish waters are presented. Most of the records originate from sublittoral monitoring around fish farms from Orkney, Shetland, the Western Isles, the Isles of Skye and Mull, but also from a distillery discharge in the Firth of Clyde and a plankton survey in the Sea of the Hebrides. Lancelets were recovered in sediment grab samples from 6 - 60 m depth. Some recent accounts of intertidal lancelets are also cited. The lancelets appear to prefer coarser sediments and in the fish farm surveys were found predominantly at reference sites, away from the immediate influence of farm deposition. INTRODUCTION The lancelet Branchiostoma lanceolatum (Pallas, 1774) is an obscure, vaguely fish-like creature, up to 8 cm long, which lives buried in sand or coarse sediments in British seas. Its body is laterally compressed, pinkish white in colour, and pointed at both ends with a lance- like tail fin (Fig. 1). There are no paired fins, nor eyes, nor even a well-defined head, and it has only a small mouth surrounded by cirri, used to filter organic matter from the surrounding water. It has a dorsal notochord and segmented muscle blocks allowing it to swim in a sinusoidal fish-like manner, but no backbone, and it is therefore classified as an invertebrate (Barnes, 2015).

  • Biology of Chordates Video Guide
    Branches on the Tree of Life DVD – CHORDATES Written and photographed by David Denning and Bruce Russell ©2005, BioMEDIA ASSOCIATES (THUMBNAIL IMAGES IN THIS GUIDE ARE FROM THE DVD PROGRAM) .. .. To many students, the phylum Chordata doesn’t seem to make much sense. It contains such apparently disparate animals as tunicates (sea squirts), lancelets, fish and humans. This program explores the evolution, structure and classification of chordates with the main goal to clarify the unity of Phylum Chordata. All chordates possess four characteristics that define the phylum, although in most species, these characteristics can only be seen during a relatively small portion of the life cycle (and this is often an embryonic or larval stage, when the animal is difficult to observe). These defining characteristics are: the notochord (dorsal stiffening rod), a hollow dorsal nerve cord; pharyngeal gills; and a post anal tail that includes the notochord and nerve cord. Subphylum Urochordata The most primitive chordates are the tunicates or sea squirts, and closely related groups such as the larvaceans (Appendicularians). In tunicates, the chordate characteristics can be observed only by examining the entire life cycle. The adult feeds using a ‘pharyngeal basket’, a type of pharyngeal gill formed into a mesh-like basket. Cilia on the gill draw water into the mouth, through the basket mesh and out the excurrent siphon. Tunicates have an unusual heart which pumps by ‘wringing out’. It also reverses direction periodically. Tunicates are usually hermaphroditic, often casting eggs and sperm directly into the sea. After fertilization, the zygote develops into a ‘tadpole larva’. This swimming larva shows the remaining three chordate characters - notochord, dorsal nerve cord and post-anal tail.

  • Decelerated Genome Evolution in Modern Vertebrates Revealed by Analysis of Multiple Lancelet Genomes
    ARTICLE Received 20 May 2014 | Accepted 18 Nov 2014 | Published 19 Dec 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms6896 OPEN Decelerated genome evolution in modern vertebrates revealed by analysis of multiple lancelet genomes Shengfeng Huang1, Zelin Chen1, Xinyu Yan1, Ting Yu1, Guangrui Huang1, Qingyu Yan1, Pierre Antoine Pontarotti2, Hongchen Zhao1, Jie Li1, Ping Yang1, Ruihua Wang1, Rui Li1, Xin Tao1, Ting Deng1, Yiquan Wang3,4, Guang Li3,4, Qiujin Zhang5, Sisi Zhou1, Leiming You1, Shaochun Yuan1, Yonggui Fu1, Fenfang Wu1, Meiling Dong1, Shangwu Chen1 & Anlong Xu1,6 Vertebrates diverged from other chordates B500 Myr ago and experienced successful innovations and adaptations, but the genomic basis underlying vertebrate origins are not fully understood. Here we suggest, through comparison with multiple lancelet (amphioxus) genomes, that ancient vertebrates experienced high rates of protein evolution, genome rearrangement and domain shuffling and that these rates greatly slowed down after the divergence of jawed and jawless vertebrates. Compared with lancelets, modern vertebrates retain, at least relatively, less protein diversity, fewer nucleotide polymorphisms, domain combinations and conserved non-coding elements (CNE). Modern vertebrates also lost substantial transposable element (TE) diversity, whereas lancelets preserve high TE diversity that includes even the long-sought RAG transposon. Lancelets also exhibit rapid gene turnover, pervasive transcription, fastest exon shuffling in metazoans and substantial TE methylation not observed in other invertebrates. These new lancelet genome sequences provide new insights into the chordate ancestral state and the vertebrate evolution. 1 State Key Laboratory of Biocontrol, Guangdong Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Functional Genes, School of Life Sciences, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510275, China. 2 Evolution Biologique et Mode´lisation UMR 7353 Aix Marseille Universite´/CNRS, 3 Place Victor Hugo, 13331 Marseille, France.

Donoghue2 Summary and is appealing because it implies a gradual assembly of vertebrate Lampreys and hagfish, which together are known as the characters, and supports the hagfish and lampreys as experimental cyclostomes or ‘agnathans’, are the only surviving lineages of models for distinct craniate and vertebrate evolutionary grades (i.e. jawless fish. They diverged early in vertebrate evolution, perceived ‘stages’ in evolution). However, only comparative before the origin of the hinged jaws that are characteristic of morphology provides support for this phylogenetic hypothesis. The gnathostome (jawed) vertebrates and before the evolution of competing hypothesis, which unites lampreys and hagfish as sister paired appendages. However, they do share numerous taxa in the clade Cyclostomata, thus equally related to characteristics with jawed vertebrates. Studies of cyclostome gnathostomes, has enjoyed unequivocal support from phylogenetic development can thus help us to understand when, and how, analyses of protein-coding sequence data (e.g. Delarbre et al., 2002; key aspects of the vertebrate body evolved. Here, we Furlong and Holland, 2002; Kuraku et al., 1999). Support for summarise the development of cyclostomes, highlighting the cyclostome theory is now overwhelming, with the recognition of key species studied and experimental methods available. We novel families of non-coding microRNAs that are shared then discuss how studies of cyclostomes have provided exclusively by hagfish and lampreys (Heimberg et al., 2010).

  • Common Genetic Denominators for Ca -Based Skeleton in Metazoa
    Common Genetic Denominators for Ca++-Based Skeleton in Metazoa: Role of Osteoclast-Stimulating Factor and of Carbonic Anhydrase in a Calcareous Sponge Werner E. G. Mu¨ ller1*, Xiaohong Wang1,2, Vlad A. Grebenjuk1, Michael Korzhev1, Matthias Wiens1, Ute Schloßmacher1, Heinz C. Schro¨ der1 1 ERC Advanced Investigator Grant Research Group at Institute for Physiological Chemistry, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany, 2 National Research Center for Geoanalysis, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, CHN-Beijing, China Abstract Calcium-based matrices serve predominantly as inorganic, hard skeletal systems in Metazoa from calcareous sponges [phylum Porifera; class Calcarea] to proto- and deuterostomian multicellular animals. The calcareous sponges form their skeletal elements, the spicules, from amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC). Treatment of spicules from Sycon raphanus with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) results in the disintegration of the ACC in those skeletal elements. Until now a distinct protein/ enzyme involved in ACC metabolism could not been identified in those animals. We applied the technique of phage display combinatorial libraries to identify oligopeptides that bind to NaOCl-treated spicules: those oligopeptides allowed us to detect proteins that bind to those spicules. Two molecules have been identified, the (putative) enzyme carbonic anhydrase and the (putative) osteoclast-stimulating factor (OSTF), that are involved in the catabolism of ACC. The complete cDNAs were isolated and the recombinant proteins were prepared to raise antibodies. In turn, immunofluorescence staining of tissue slices and qPCR analyses have been performed. The data show that sponges, cultivated under standard condition (10 mM CaCl2) show low levels of transcripts/proteins for carbonic anhydrase or OSTF, compared to those animals that had 2+ been cultivated under Ca -depletion condition (1 mM CaCl2).
