Dorvilleidae

[Rafael Sarda]

Dear Adam:

The presence of Ophryotrocha labronica in organic enriched sediments 
inside harbours have been documented in the Catalan Western 
Mediterranean area (up to 6000 ind m-2; 0.195 g m-2).  The worm is 
normally found together with Capitella capitata Type ... and Mediomastus 
fragilis. Data is not published and the best reference should be:  

PINEDO, S. (1998) Structure and dynamics of Western Mediterranean
soft-bottom communities along a disturbance gradient. Natural and
man-induced variability in the Bay of Blanes. Doctoral Thesis of the
University of Barcelona, 177 pages and annex.

My best wishes from Blanes.
