Abstract

Daro, M. H. (1970). L'association des amphipodes et des Polydora ciliata à la côte belge. [The association of amphipods and Polydora ciliata at the Belgian coast.]. Neth. J. of Sea Res. 5(1): 96-100

The worm Polydora ciliata is colonized, at the Belgian coast, by 2 amphipodes: Jassa falcata in the surf zone and Corophium insidiosum in calm waters. This difference is caused essentially by the morphological characteristics of the 2 amphipodes: Jassa falcata possesses a pair of very strong gnathopodes II, allowing it to hold on firmly in strong currents, while Corophium insidiosum lacks these characteristics.
