Chloeia on baited hooks

[Barrie Jamieson]

Dear Annelidans,

In relation to Chris Glasby's query about  catching Chloeia on baited 
hooks, I do not know of a reference to this in the general literature but an 
entry in my CD on polychaete feeding mechanisms states:  

Chloeia
A very active scavenger and carnivore, not uncommonly caught on baited
fishing hooks.......

Every year (decades!) that I mentioned this to undergraduate students 
there always seemed to be one or two students in the class who had caught 
Chloeia or something like it on a baited hook. I mentioned this to them to 
counter the prevalent view that amphinomids were only  browsers on 
sponges.  

My CD is listed on my website (see below).

Cheers,
Barrie
