“…Differences occur between disturbance levels in terms of the number of occasional and rare species and in the relative dominance of ubiquitous species, S. gracilis being dominant in intertidal and shallow subtidal areas and S. armillaris and S. variegata in subtidal areas. Syllis gracilis has been quoted as a species with high densities in physically controlled and less structured environments (Bellan, 1980;Çinar, 2003a). On the other hand, other stenotopic species limit their presence to more complex habitats.…”

There is an increasing need in assessing ecological quality and integrity of estuaries and lagoons. This chapter shows the most recent efforts in assessing individual biological elements (from phytoplankton to fishes), together with the integrative tools developed in different geographical areas worldwide. However, reducing complex information from multiple ecosystem elements to a single color or value is a substantial challenge to marine scientists, and requires the integration of different disciplines (chemists, engineers, biologists, ecologists, physics, managers, etc.), to reach agreement on the final assignment of ecological status. Hence, in the near future, emphasis needs to be directed at understanding the complexities of estuarine system functioning rather than simplifying and scaling down the system into smaller components.

“…It is particularly abundant at shallow depths (from 0 to 1 m) and in eutrophic environments (Bellan, 1980;Giangrande, 1988), although Kisseleva (1971) reported 3 m to be the preferential depth for development of a P. dumerilii population. Widely studied from the reproductive point of view (Giangrande, 1997), this tube-dwelling species is characterized by low motility and a semelparous life cycle with a brief pelagic lecithotrophic development (Giangrande, 1989(Giangrande, , 1997.…”

The population structure of Platynereis dumerilii (Annelida, Polychaeta, Nereididae) was investigated for 18 months (February 1997-August 1998 in two sites (Gargano and Otranto), located 400 km from each other, along the Adriatic coast of Apulia (Italy). Samples were collected in three replicates by scraping off 100-cm 2 quadrats in a fringe of the brown alga Cystoseira amentacea. At the beginning of the study period, a recruitment event was observed in both sites. Despite the great difference in recruitment rates, at the end of the study period, local population density was similar in the two sites, suggesting the importance of post-recruitment factors in controlling population density. Intra-and interspecific competition, predation, and physical stress are discussed in the light of the different ecological conditions of the two sites. Recruit distribution appeared relatively homogeneous in space with recruitment rates not being different among quadrat replicates. Variability in size class distribution among quadrat replicates was lower during the recruitment period, suggesting that the observed patchy patterns of adult distribution were a product of post-recruitment events.
