“…Bastida-Zavala & ten Hove (2002) recorded the species from the Caribbean, at both undisturbed and polluted sites, while Rioja (1942) and Bastida-Zavala (1993) recorded the species from the Mexican Pacific, only at undisturbed sites, but close to harbors (Mazatlán and La Paz, respectively). Recent surveys in the Mexican Pacific (Tovar-Hernández et al 2012Bastida-Zavala et al 2016), found H. dirampha frequently in marinas and harbors. Hydroides dirampha has been in Hawaii for at least 120 years (Ehlers 1905), and in southern California for 100 years (Treadwell 1914).…”

“…The species has been found only once in Hawaii (Long 1974), so it is not clear whether it is established there. The main means of dispersal is likely as fouling on vessels; the species was generally limited to polluted harbors in the sites invaded (Bastida-Zavala & ten Hove 2002Hove , 2003Lewis et al 2006;Tovar-Hernández et al 2014;Sun et al 2012Sun et al , 2015Bastida-Zavala et al 2016).…”

Serpulids are an important component of fouling communities. This paper provides an overview of the serpulid species found in North America, as part of a broader study of fouling invertebrates focused on NIS (non-indigenous species) in United States coastal ecosystems. Almost 4400 serpulid specimens were examined from selected fouling plates. Fouling plates were deployed in 26 bays and coastal lagoons along the continental coasts of the United States and Hawaiian islands, primarily in bays and lagoons with salinities averaging 20‰ or greater. Twenty-five serpulid species were identified, including four new records for the United States (Ficopomatus uschakovi, Hydroides cf. brachyacantha, H. longispinosa and Protula longiseta), three known NIS, two presumed NIS, three cryptogenic serpulids, and several range extensions. Crucigera websteri extends its northward range from Santa Barbara Island to Humboldt Bay, California; Ficopomatus enigmaticus, first recorded in North America from San Francisco, California in 1920, Rockport, Texas in 1952 and Barnegat Bay, New Jersey in 1980, is now recorded at additional localities on the east coast (Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, Charleston, South Carolina and Indian River, Florida) and the northern Gulf of Mexico (Galveston Bay, Texas); F. miamiensis extends its westward range from Louisiana to Texas; F. uschakovi, an Indo-Pacific and Western African species, was recorded formally for the first time from the northern Gulf of Mexico (Galveston Bay and Corpus Christi, Texas) and the east coast of Florida (Jacksonville). Hydroides cf. brachyacantha extends its northward range from Curaҫao to Pensacola Bay, Florida; H. dirampha from Veracruz, Mexico to Corpus Christi, Texas; H. floridana extends its westward range from Louisiana to Texas; H. gracilis extends its northward range from Pacific Grove to San Francisco, California; Salmacina huxleyi from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina to Rhode Island; and Spirobranchus minutus from Veracruz, Mexico to Pensacola Bay, Florida. The following additional species range extensions are provisional in that they represent only one record or were not found in the most recent surveys (e.g., Hydroides elegans - east coast): H. longispinosa from Marshall Islands to Oahu, Hawaii; Protula balboensis from Florida to Texas; P. longiseta from the Mexican Caribbean to the Indian River, Florida; H. elegans from San Francisco to Humboldt Bay, northern California and on the east coast from the Indian River, Florida, to Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Among surveyed bays, Biscayne Bay, Florida and Corpus Christi, Texas (northern Gulf of Mexico) had the greatest number of species (14 and 8, respectively); in contrast, almost all sites in Alaska, Washington, Oregon (northwest Pacific), Rhode Island, Virginia and South Carolina (Atlantic) had only one or two species each. Hydroides dianthus was, by far, the most abundant serpulid species on fouling plates in the northern Gulf of Mexico and the east coast, while Pseudochitinopoma occidentalis was the most abundant serpulid detected on the west coast. For each species recorded herein, we include the synonyms and some key references, a material studied section, a diagnosis, and updated distributional information. A checklist and identification key to the known shallow-water serpulids sensu stricto of the United States are included.

Unexpected prey of juvenile spotted scat (Scatophagus argus) near a wharf: The prevalence of fouling organisms in stomach contents

A knowledge of fish diets can contribute to revealing the trophic role and ecological function of species in aquatic ecosystems. At present, however, there are no efficient or comprehensive methods for analyzing fish diets. In this study, we investigated the diets of juvenile Scatophagus argus collected near a wharf in Daya Bay, China, by dissection and high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) using the 18S rDNA V4 region. Microscopy disclosed large amounts of bryozoans and unrecognizable detritus. In contrast, HTS analysis indicated that the fish diets were considerably more diverse than visual inspection suggested. After eliminating fish sequences, approximately 17,000 sequences from taxa in nine phyla (Ciliophora, Bryozoa, Annelida, Bacillariophyta, Chlorophyta, Arthropoda, Dinoflagellata, Tunicata, and Phaeophyta) were identified from the analysis of stomach contents. Twenty‐one food categories were identified, most of which (95.2%) were benthic fouling organisms that could easily be collected around wharfs. These consisted of bryozoans (31.9%), ciliates (45.7%), polychaetes (14.6%), and green algae (3.0%). Therefore, to adapt to anthropogenic habitat modification, the fish had probably shifted from planktonic to benthic feeding. The prevalence of fouling organisms in the stomachs of juvenile S. argus indicates that the fish have responded to habitat changes by widening their food spectrum. This adaptation may have increased their chances of survival. The fouling organisms that inhabit highly perturbed coastal ecosystems could represent a food source for animals at higher trophic levels. Our results accordingly suggest that human activity might significantly influence fish feeding behavior and material transfer along the food chain.
