Dear All,
I am undertaking some research investigating the reproductive cycle of
the polychaete Sabellaria spinulosa and as part of this I have been
collecting larval samples offshore. We have identified a number of
metatrocaphore larvae which we think may be /Sabellaria spinulosa/ but
are having difficulty confirming the ID. Does anyone know of anyone with
expertise in this field that might perhaps be able to provide expert
verification? Unfortunately most of the scientists I know of that have
worked with /S. spinulosa/ larvae are dead. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
Best Regards
Bryony
