L. squamatus is a long-living, slow growing broadcast spawner, while H. imbricata is a short-living and quick growing species, with complex reproductive behaviour. These different life strategies may allow them to respond in a different way to the environmental limitations of the study site, this likely being the most appropriate explanation to the observed alternation in dominance.

  • (Polychaeta) from the CANARY ISLANDS
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 48(2): l8D-188, 1991 POL YNOIDAE (pOLYCHAETA) FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS M. C. Brito, J. Nunez and J. J. Bacallado ABSTRACT This paper is a contribution to the study of the family Polynoidae (Polychaeta) from the Canary Islands. The material examined has been collected by the authors from 1975 to 1989. A total of 18 species was found belonging to 8 genera: Gesiel/a (I), Po/ynoe (1), Adyte (I), Subadyte (I), Harrnothoe (11), A/entia (1), Lepidasthenia (1) and Lepidonotus (I). Ten species are new to this fauna and one, Harrnothoe cascabullico/a, is new to science. Furthermore, the genera Po/ynoe, Adyte and Lepidasthenia are recorded for the first time in the Canary Islands. The Polychaeta of the Canary Islands are enumerated in the provisional cata- logue of Nunez et al. (1984), in which are recorded 148 species, 12 of which belong to the family Polynoidae. Samples from the Canary coastline were examined and members ofPolynoidae studied. A total of 173 specimens was studied, belonging to 7 subfamilies, 8 genera, and 18 species, of which 9 species are recorded for the first time in the Canarian fauna. Worthy of note is the large number of species belonging to the genus Harmothoe (11), one of which, H. cascabullicola is new. METHODS The material examined was collected from 1975 to 1989, from 61 stations, at 45 localities on the Canary coasts (Fig. I). The list of stations, with their localities, types of substrate and collecting data are listed in Table I. The methods used in collecting depended on the type of substrate.

Prostomium: Prominent, acute cephalic peaks present. 2 pairs of large eyes; anterior pair beneath cephalic peaks (but visible through prostomium). Median antenna with large pigmented ceratophore; long style with subterminal swelling, scattered papillae, and filiform tip. Lateral ceratophores short, inserted ventrally.

Thus, Ackerman (1976) reported Eupolymnia crescentis, which was recorded as Eupolymnia heterobranchia in spreadsheets of current species (spreadsheets 2-5). Ackerman, Peter. 1976. The influence of substrate upon the importance of tentacular regeneration in the terebellid polychaete EUPOLYMNIA CRESCENTIS with reference to another terebellid polychaete NEOAMPHITRITE ROBUSTA in regard to its respiratory response. Student Report, Bodega Marine Lab, Library. IDS 100 ∗ Eupolymnia heterobranchia (Johnson, 1901) reported as Eupolymnia crescentis Chamberlin, 1919 changed per Lights 2007. Alex, Dan. 1972. A settling survey of Mason's Marina. Student Report, Bodega Marine Lab, Library. Zoology 157 Alexander, David. 1976. Effects of temperature and other factors on the distribution of LUMBRINERIS ZONATA in the substratum (Annelida: polychaeta). Student Report, Bodega Marine Lab, Library. IDS 100 Amrein, Yost. 1949. The holdfast fauna of MACROSYSTIS INTEGRIFOLIA. Student Report, Bodega Marine Lab, Library. Zoology 112 ∗ Platynereis bicanaliculata (Baird, 1863) reported as Platynereis agassizi Okuda & Yamada, 1954. Changed per Lights 1954 (2nd edition). ∗ Naineris dendritica (Kinberg, 1867) reported as Nanereis laevigata (Grube, 1855) (should be: Naineris laevigata). N. laevigata not in Hartman 1969 or Lights 2007. N. dendritica taken as synonymous with N. laevigata. ∗ Hydroides uncinatus Fauvel, 1927 correct per I.T.I.S. although Hartman 1969 reports Hydroides changing to Eupomatus. Lights 2007 has changed Eupomatus to Hydroides. ∗ Dorvillea moniloceras (Moore, 1909) reported as Stauronereis moniloceras (Moore, 1909). (Stauronereis to Dorvillea per Hartman 1968). ∗ Amrein reported Stylarioides flabellata, which was not recognized by Hartman 1969, Lights 2007 or the Integrated Taxonomic Information System (I.T.I.S.).
