Marine Benthic Invertebrates

The distribution patterns of many marine benthic invertebrates are not well known, and when records exist they are usually in the form of presence and absence data with little or no information on the relative density of populations from area to area.

The ecological function of bacteria-invertebrate interactions in Polar areas remains poorly understood, despite increasing evidence that microbial metabolites may play pivotal roles in host-associated chemical defense and in shaping the symbiotic community structure. The metabolic and physiological changes that these organisms undergo in response to adapting to extreme conditions result in the production of structurally and functionally novel biologically active molecules. Deepening our knowledge on the interactions between bacteria and their invertebrate host would be highly helpful in providing the rationale for why (e.g., competition or cooperative purpose) and which (whether secondary metabolites, enzymes, or proteins) bioactive compounds are produced. To date, cold-adapted bacteria associated with marine invertebrates from the Arctic and Antarctica have not been given the attention they deserve and the versatility of their natural products remains virtually unexplored, even if they could represent a new attractive frontier in the search for novel natural compounds. This review is aimed at showcasing the diversity of cold-adapted bacteria associated with benthic invertebrates from Polar marine areas, highlighting the yet unexplored treasure they represent for biodiscovery.

Periods of larval occurrence are reported for 19 polychaete species and 10 other common planktonic larvae. Egg sizes are given for 29 polychaete species with estimates of spawning period for 14 of these based on studies of the adult worms. Spawning periods are shown to correlate better with larval type (e.g. whether planktotrophic or lecithotrophic) than with the zoogeographic distribution of the adults. Among the planktotrophic larvae, the evidence suggests that some larvae (e.g. polynoid larvae) develop successfully only during the spring diatom bloom, and gamete wastage may result from any substantial mismatch between the diatom bloom and spawning period. The lecithotrophic larva of the tunicate Boltenia ovifera, which spawns in midwinter, is described for the first time.
