| Notes | |
Description: This bristle worm has a thin (1 mm) and relatively long body (100 mm). Two regions can be distinguished across the body: an anterior end with twelve bristle-covered segments and a posterior end with segments with thickened parapodial grooves. The anterior end is coloured red, the posterior end reddish green or yellow. [details]
Distribution: In both sampling periods the distribution area of Heteromastus filiformis was mainly limited to the coastal zone. The highest numbers were observed here as well (up to maximum 450 ind./m2).
Contrary to the 1994-2001 period, the species had a higher frequency of occurrence in the eastern
coastal zone in the 1976-1986 period. The density levels for this species at other locations (Flemish
Banks and Zeeland Banks) were rather low. [details]
Habitat: Heteromastus filiformis has a clear preference for fine sediments. The species has a high relative occurrence (> 20%) in sediments with a median grain size of 100-200 µm. In addition, the species tends to prefer sediments with high mud contents: although the relative occurrence follows an erratic pattern, the species occurs more frequently as the mud content increases.
