| Summary: | Branchiomma bairdi (McIntosh, 1885) Branchiomma bairdi, originally from the Caribbean, is a recent introduction in the Gulf of California via the Panama Canal (Tovar-Hernández et al. 2009a, b) and to the eastern Mediterranean through the Gibraltar Strait (Çinar 2009; Giangrande et al. 2012; Arias et al. 2013), Australia (Capa & Murray 2015) and the northeastern Atlantic Ocean (Ramalhosa et al. 2014). In the Gulf of California, this species is highly abundant reaching densities of 18,000 ind./m 2 in perturbed sites (marinas, ports, shrimp and oyster farms), on hard anthropogenic substrates (metal buoys, hulls of vessels, ropes, floating docks, and concrete and wood water gates), and also reported as epibionts on Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793) and C. sikamea (Amemiya, 1928), and on natural substrates (rocks and wood) from a marine protect area (Tovar-Hernández et al. 2012; 2014). Çinar (2009) documented B. bairdi along the coasts of Turkey (Levantine Sea) in 2005 and found specimens at 0.5 and 8 m ... : Published as part of Keppel, Erica, Tovar, Maria Ana & Ruiz, Gregory, 2015, First record and establishment of Branchiomma coheni (Polychaeta: Sabellidae) in the Atlantic Ocean and review of non – indigenous species of the genus, pp. 499-518 in Zootaxa 4058 (4) on pages 507-508, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4058.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/244288 ... |
