Hi all,
This series of "Aquatic Invasive Species Vector Risk Assessments" reports from California might be of interest.

In the one on live bait by Andrew Cohen we learn that Perinereis aibuhitensis is exported by the South Koreans under the name lugworm! Andrew doesn't blanch at heartily also adopting this name for a nereid, usually known as ragworms, but there probably will be a few eyebrows raised out on the Wadden Sea mudflats where the real, and very different lugworms are most at home.
G. P. Wells? Son of the famous H. G. Wells, and the all time pre-eminent lugworm researcher. Amongst many lugworm works Wells wrote: The Lugworm (Arenicola)- A Study in Adaptation. Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 3(2): 294-313
Cheers,
Geoff
