Underwater television observations of Serpula vermicularis (L.) reefs and associated mobile fauna in Loch Creran, Scotland.
The behaviour of Serpula vermicularis reef worms and associated mobile fauna in Loch Creran, on the west coast of Scotland, was recorded for six weeks using underwater television. The reef worms were extended almost continually, generally only retracting when stimulated by the close proximity of a p...
