First records of polychaetes new to Egyptian Mediterranean waters
Nineteen benthic polychaete species were recorded for the first time inthe intertidal zone of the Alexandria coast, south-eastern Mediterranean Sea. They belong toSyllidae (7 species), Hesionidae (3 species), Serpulidae (2 species) and7 other families (one species each). Of these species <i>Eu...

| description | Nineteen benthic polychaete species were recorded for the first time inthe intertidal zone of the Alexandria coast, south-eastern Mediterranean Sea. They belong toSyllidae (7 species), Hesionidae (3 species), Serpulidae (2 species) and7 other families (one species each). Of these species <i>Eunice miurai</i> Carrera-Parra& Salazar-Vallejo 1998 appears to be new to the Mediterranean Sea,while four of the alien species earlier recorded in the Mediterranean were found for thefirst time in Egyptian waters: <i>Opisthosyllis brunnea</i> Langerhans 1879,<i>Loimia medusa</i> Savigny 1822, <i>Syllis schulzi</i> Hartmann-Schröder1960, <i>Phyllodoce longifrons</i> Ben-Eliahu 1972.<br> The newly recorded species demonstrated markedly different patterns offrequency of occurrence and numerical abundance. <i>Spirobranchus triqueter</i>Linnaeus 1758, <i>S. schulzi</i>, <i>L. medusa</i> and <i>Salvatoria clavata</i>Claparède 1863 were permanent and abundant species in fouling samples along the Alexandria coast.<i>Saccocirrus papillocercus</i> Bobretzky 1872 persisted in the sediments at two sites,with a much higher count at the stressed one, while <i>Protodrilus</i>sp. inhabited sediments at two other sites throughout the year, sometimes invery high numbers. In addition, the alien species found earlier, <i>Braniaarminii</i> Langerhans 1881, <i>Odontosyllis fulgurans</i> Audouin &Milne-Edwards 1833 and <i>O. brunnea</i> Langerhans 1879, were frequentlyobserved along the Alexandria coast. |
