“…Sigerfoos (1907) studied the natural history, organization and late development of the Teredinidae at Beaufort, North Carolina. The isopod Limnoria lignorum is another destructive borer, the habits of which have been investigated by Coker (1923) at Beaufort, and by Henderson (1924) at St. Andrews, New Brunswick.…”

ABsTRAcrThree species of Limnoriu occur together in Southampton Water. Migration began at a water temperature rising through 10°C in L. quaclripunctntn and L. Zignorum and through 15°C in L. tripunctata, Migratory activity followed the water temperature in L. tripunctata but declined in L. Zignorum before the highest tcmpcraturcs were reached. The migratory behavior of L. quadripunctata resembled that of L. tripunctata at one site and that of L. Zignorum at another. Overcrowding as a cause of migration was not supported.Migration was confined to large, sexually mature adults, excluding gravid females. The first migrants were predominantly male, and in L. Zignorum about twice as many malts as females migrated.Reproduction showed a marked increase in the summer, beginning at a water temperature of 10°C in L. quadripunctata and L. lignorum and of. 12°C in L. tripunctata. L. quadripunctutu differed from other species in being the only one in which the avcragc brood size of post-migrants was significantly greater than that of non-migrants, and in which a significant increase in brood size with body size occurred.No seasonal change in brood size was demonstrated in any species. Widely separated developmental stages were frcqucntly found in the same brood. The duration of the egg stage was longer than that of the embryo which in turn exceeded that of the larval stage.

“…Their apparent absence at station 5 might be due to its location far away from any source of infestation combined with the strong wave action. It has been shown by HENDERSON (1924) and DOOCHIN and SMITH (1951) that borer attacks are greatly reduced by the mechanical effects of an increased rate of flow in the surrounding water. It has been reported further that in experiments the majority of Limnoria burrows were located at the edges of panels where the velocity of "vater was lowest.…”
