Diopatra neopolitana

[Hannelore Paxton]

Dear Theresa,

The reproduction of Diopatra neapolitana of a population from Arcachon, 
France, has been studied by Dr. Claude Cazaux and has been published 
as follows:  

Cazaux, C. 1972.  Developpement larvaire d'annelides polychetes (Bassin 
d'Arcachon).  Archives de Zoologie Experimentale et Generale, 113, 71-
108.  

The paper by Sang Choe (1960) that was mentioned to you on this list 
does most likely not deal with D. neapolitana but D. sugokai, which is a 
common species in Japan.  

A paper describing rearing techniques using a tank system drawing water 
from a lagoon in Sardinia may also be of interest to you:  

Conti, G. & F. Massa.  1998.  Esperienze di allevamento del polichete 
Diopatra neapolitana delle Chiaje, 1841 nella laguna di S. Gilla (Sardegna 
Meridionale).  Biol. Mar. Medit. 5(3):1473-1480.  

You have probably seen the following paper from the 4th Polychaete 
Conference.  It lists Diopatra cuprea cuprea, but deals more likely with D. 
neapolitana:  

Gambi, M.C., Castelli, A., Giangrande, A., Lanera, P., Prevedelli, D. & R. 
Zunarelli Vandini.  1994.  Polychaetes of commercial and applied interest 
in Italy: an overview.  IN: J.-C. Dauvin, L. Laubier & D.J. Reish (Eds), 
Actes de la 4eme Conference internationale des Polychetes.  Mem. Mus. 
natn. Hist. nat., 162:593-603.  

With best wishes, Hannelore
