The type specimen of Sphaerodorum sphaerulifer Moore 1909 was taken
from a deep-sea fishing line, although there is no information as to whether
it was on the hook, the bait, or the line itself.
I think glycerids are likely candidates to be bait-caught worms. Long ago I
went snorkeling to collect abalone for dinner. Swimming back to camp, I
noticed a large Glycera swimming after me. It was after my bag of
bleeding abalones, to be precise. When I moved the bag back & forth the
worm followed the bag's movements & would have burrowed into it if I
hadn't caught him first.
