Texas A&M University Press, College Station, Texas. 37 Polychaeta (Annelida) of the Gulf of Kristian Fauchald, Alejandro Granados- Barba, and Vivianne Solís- Weiss The phylum Annelida, segmented worms, includes species from all sorts of environments. Apart from most of the leeches, the annelids have bristles, chaetae, usually ard so that there are two or four bundles of bristles per segment. The bristles consist usually of bundles of long, slender scleroprotein tubes or rods, glued together by chitin or other forms of scleroprotein. Most familiar are perhaps the earthworms, part of the Oligochaeta, which include numerous small species living in freshwater and the marine environments. Also well known are the leeches, especially the medicinal leech, but the group to which this leech belongs, Hirudinea, contains about 600 species, many of which are present in the marine environment and in freshwater; many leeches are not the famous blood- suckers, but live more like carnivores, grazing on the skin of fishes and other organisms. These two groups both contain exclusively hermaphroditic members and are considered closely related, the Clitellata. The other major group of annelids, Polychaeta, turns out to be more difficult to define. Most polychaetes are marine, and they are structurally more complex than the leeches and oligochaetes in that they usually have head appendages, antennae, and palps. The bristles are usually carried on paired parapodia on either side of the body, and the parapodia may be subdivided into an upper part, the notopodium, and a lower, ventral part, the neuropodium. The bristles are often complex, with hinges and hoods and marginal serration or dentition. Many species of polychaetes have several different kinds of bristles in Polychaeta. After Kritzler each parapodium, and the bristles may also change over time, as the worms grow. In contrast, the oligochaete bristles are usually much simpler. Polychaetes have turned out not to be a single monophyletic group; various analyses have demonstrated that the clitellates are nested among the polychaetes (e.g., Rouse and Pleijel 2001), and thus recognizing the polychaetes as a single group at the same level as the clitellates will not be correct. However, traditionally the families of polychaetes have been treated as a single taxon, and for many purposes, not least ecologically, it makes sense to handle the polychaetes as a group for practical reasons. The system used in this effort corresponds to the one used by Rouse and Pleijel (2001) (see also Rouse and Fauchald [1997]) with few exceptions. For practical reasons, we have retained family names even for families repre- 751

3 752 ~ Polychaeta (Annelida) sented only by a single genus (or single species) worldwide. Similarly, we have preferred to split the genera where such splits have been published (e.g., paraonids and spionids) and have been at least in some use. Some families are under very active study, such as the syllids, and the generic assignment of the species there follows the publications cited. Polychaetes are present in all environments, from intertidal pools to the greatest depths of the oceans. They are especially common in sandy and muddy substrates where they can make up as much as 90% of the standing crop of macro- organisms. More normally, they are present as 25% to 50% of the numbers of specimens. However, many polychaetes are small, and in terms of biomass, the group is less dominant than in numbers of specimens. The polychaetes are currently grouped in roughly 80 families. A few families are exclusively pelagic but most are benthic, and most are present in all ocean basins. Some families are usually very species rich; syllids, paraonids, cirratulids, sabellids, nereidids, and eunicids are often present with many species in any given ocean area, and the Gulf of shows this dominance very well. A survey of the known Gulf polychaete fauna was issued by Perkins and Savage (1975) in which the early literature can be found. A major advance in our knowledge came with the publication of Uebelacker and Johnson (1984). This publication is a series of seven ring- bound volumes containing the combined studies of several investigations from Florida to Texas undertaken for the Minerals Management Service in preparation for oil- lease activities in the Gulf of. Each of the 60 chapters, written by a total of 14 authors, is cited separately here. These volumes were carefully reviewed prior to publication and represented a major event for our understanding of the Gulf fauna. Several of the chapter authors have later issued important studies of various groups based on this material, and these papers are also cited below. The southwestern part of the Gulf of has been studied intensively by Mexican scientists, from City and from Chetumal; their records include more than 500 species from this relatively limited section of the Gulf. The following checklist includes polychaetes recorded from the Gulf of () and published in formal publications. We have omitted records given in theses and dissertations and various other forms of grey literature. Several of the records are reported as a genus name with species indet. These records are from Uebelacker and Johnson (1984), which frequently represented the only record of the genus from the Gulf of. If that is the case, they have been included here; if other species in that genus have been reported, however, they have been omitted. We have mainly included literature covering the species level; reviews and recent moves of a species from one genus to another are reflected in the list, but are not necessarily cited. Abbreviations Abbreviations used in the column of the checklist include: bur = burrower or borer; crr = corals; dps = deep sea; hsb = hard substrate; plg = pelagic; sft = soft substrates (muds, sands, clays); svg = submergent vegetation (algae); and tbi = tubicolous (tube formers). s are based on records strictly from the Gulf of. Abbreviations in column are for quadrants shown in chapter 1, fig. 1. Acknowledgments We are grateful for the assistance of Mr. William G. Keel in Washington, and Biol. Dalya Vera Hidalgo for her efforts with data transcription and bibliographic assistance in preparation of the Mexican input. KF is also grateful for the advice and help given him by Ms. Linda Ward and Dr. Leonard Hirsch in preparing the table. References 1. Blake, J.
