Field Notes

Habitat:

Aguas someras de la laguna del Mar Menor.

Notes:

Este gusano poliqueto tiene una gran capacidad de adaptación, expansión y rápidas tasas reproductoras. Es oriundo del Indo-pacífico y se trata de una especie invasora que ha colonizado durante los últimos 20 años cada rincón del Mar Menor. Se introdujo en el Mediterráneo a través del Mar Rojo (por el Canal de Suez), por lo que es una especie migrante lessepsiana.
