In the spirit of fair play ... :) I tried Google Scholar which found a lugworm title paper I didn't have. This is indeed a reference to Perinereis aibuhitensis, and was written by Korean dye chemists.
But, search = "lugworm arenicola -aibuhitensis" = 3280 papers
Kang, Sang-Mo; Koh, Joonseok; Noh, Sun-Young; Kim, Soo-Jin; Kwon, Yoon-Jung. 2009. Effects of lugworm protease on the dyeing properties of protein fibers. Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry 15(4): 584-587
On the topic of Perinereis aibuhitensis Korean baitworm imports becoming established as aliens - way back in 2006 Costa et al (IPC8) alluded to this possibility for Portugal. Guess it's a matter of when not if.

I haven't sought them out but I have 209 papers in my bibliographic database each with lugworm in the title and dealing with arenicolids . Only this one below published out of Japan is different Here it is a reference to our favourite boring spionid. I noted it as odd at the time, but now it is slightly more explicable taken as a mistaken synonym in English for bristle-worm or sea-worm.
If I were a California resource manager I'd like to know when a term is being used newly in a way unique to the local culture, differing from the accepted use (thus care needed when using Google for applicable information). Perhaps someone should now edit Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugworm so that they can find this out.
