Glycera Robusta Phylum: Annelida Class: Polychaeta Order: Phyllodocida the Large Proboscis Worm Family: Glyceridae Glycera robusta Phylum: Annelida Class: Polychaeta Order: Phyllodocida The large proboscis worm Family: Glyceridae Taxonomy: There are relatively few glycerid other glycerids, Glycera robusta contains both genera and Glycera contains the largest coelomic cell hemoglobin and myoglobin number of species. Several authors have within the body wall musculature (Terwilliger attempted to divide this genus into subgenera and Garlick 1978). or genera. Groups have been divided based Anterior: Glycerids are on proboscideal organs (but no formal genera characterized by their conical, designated) by Hartman (1950) and recent annulated and elongate prostomia that reviews have synonymized species taper to a fine point anteriorly (Blake (Böggemann 2002) or split the genus into and Ruff 2007). The prostomium is many sibling species (e.g. O’Connor 1987). small and bears 10 biannulate rings, Glycera robusta, however, is unique in its the first being approximately one third universal stability as a valid taxon with a of the total length (Fig. 2). The reliable description (Scamit 2002; Blake and prostomium is longer than it is wide Ruff 2007).

The authors would like to acknowledge the following persons who contributed to this work: Anthony J. Janicki, Raymond Pribble, and Heidi L. Crevison, Janicki Environmental, Inc. ii Anclote Salinity Tolerances October 2003 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Seawater desalination plays a major role in Tampa Bay Water’s Master Water Plan. At this time, two seawater desalination plants are envisioned. One is currently in operation producing up to 25 MGD near Big Bend on Tampa Bay. A second plant is conceptualized near the mouth of the Anclote River in Pasco County, with a 9 to 25 MGD capacity, and is currently in the design phase. The Tampa Bay Water desalination plant at Big Bend on Tampa Bay utilizes a reverse osmosis process to remove salt from seawater, yielding drinking water. That same process is under consideration for the facilities Tampa Bay Water has under design near the Anclote River.

Env. & Poll. Tech. Website: www.neptjournal.com The seasonal distribution of the polychaete genus Glycera was studied, especially in relation to the textural characteristics of sediments along the south-west Kerala coast of India. Statistical analysis pointed towards Received: 6/12/2010 the preference of Glycera sp. in sediments rich in silt, clay, sand and organic carbon relating to their role as Accepted: 29/1/2011 an indicator of organic enrichment. Key Words: Arabian Sea Sediment texture Polychaete genus Glycera Organic enrichment indicator INTRODUCTION the south-west coast of India very little is known of polychaetes as indicator species of coastal pollution. The Marine pollution management is based on monitoring vari- available information, however, deals mainly with their abun- ous physico-chemical and biological parameters to detect dance in mangrove swamps, as a demersal fishery indicator, changes in the environment. Recent studies carried out in their species succession in soft bottom sediments, their com- the coastal waters of India reveal that the coastal belt includ- munity structure in offshore water sand as an anthropogenic ing the water and sediment is continuously being threatened indicator (Sunil Kumar & Antony 1994, Sunil Kumar 2000, by various pollutants discharged directly from the industrial Harkantra & Rodrigues 2003, Thomas et al.
