Remembered that when I saw this:
Gee, JM and Warwick, RM (1996) "A study of global biodiversity
patterns in the marine motile fauna of hard substrata" JMBAUK
76(1):177-184.
Description of project ("Artificial substrate units" = ASU's = nylon
pan-scourers!) & preliminary results only. A paper apparently
presented at a marine biodiversity meeting in York way back in 1994.
They have polychaete taxonomists involved, as yet not publicly named
as far as I know.
For those who have not yet come across that Feb issue of JMBAUK --
it's worth a look as several papers impinging upon polychaetes are
included.
