Dear Annelida,
This is just a quick note on some more copepods found during my Gulf of
Alaska study (just for general info). I found no more of the terebellid
copepods. However, I subsequently found four Prionospio steenstrupi with
copepods attached to the prostomium. These copepods have a long body
with two egg sacs attached. I also found a polynoid, probably Hesperonoe
sp. with five copepods attached to its prostomium! These copes were just
round, sack-like growths that completely obscured the dorsal surface of the
prostomium. That is all for now. - Aaron
