| An intensive study was conducted from 1986 to 1988 to schematize the life history of the intertidal population of the annelid Nereis virens. Spawning occurred between late April and early June on the south shore of the Lower St. Lawrence estuary. Then, epitokous males leave the sediment and move towards female burrows, displaying heteronereid movements before releasing gametes. Femalesremain in their burrow and release oocytes which adhere to sediment surface where they will be fertilized. All mature individuals die after spawning. Larvae go through conspicuous changes during suprabenthic, pelagic and benthic development (monotrochophore, trochophore, metatrochophore, nectochaete). Settlement occurs in the upper intertidal zone and depends essentially on... |
