I have been researching the ecology of reefs formed by the serpulid
Serpula vermicularis in the British Isles. I have found some good
surveys, descriptions and ecological information on the reefs themselves,
but surprisingly little on very basic questions such as:
How long do individual worms live, what is their growth
rate, how long do reefs take to build up etc.
Also are there records of extensive reefs formed by this species
elsewhere? It has been suggested they may occur in the Mediterranean but
I can find nothing definitive on this.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
