“…The polychaet Clymenelly torquata, for instance, has 22 segments. If posterior segments are removed, regeneration occurs such that eventually 22 segments will be present independent of the number of segments removed [80]. In the leech, initially more than the final 32 segments might be formed.…”

“…There exist species in which a capacity for complete anterior regeneration has been demonstrated, but for which no reports of reproduction by fragmentation have appeared, e.g., Chaetopterus variopedatus (Berrill, 1928) and the maldanids ClymeneUa tor quota and Axiothella mucosa (Moment, 1951). Of a Plymouth population of C. variopedatus, 10-15% appeared to be undergoing anterior regeneration, and an older, less precise report indicated that about 50% of a French population was undergoing some kind of regeneration ( Joyeaux-Laffuie, 1890).…”

“…Previous investigations and comments on this species on the North Carolina coast (Hartman 1945, Bookhout and Horn 1949, Moment 1951, although not primarily concerned with the ecology of the animal, have noted considerable year-toyear variation in the population density, and patchiness in its distribution at particular localities.…”

The tube building polychaete worm, Clymenella torquata, occurs on the Atlantic coast of North America in estuarine situations. Investigations of the physical environment and the density of the worm populations in the Newport River estuary, North Carolina, showed that the species is found in greatest numbers near low water, in areas where the median particle size of the substrate is between 0.2 and 0.32 mm and where the salinity remains above 25%. From laboratory experiments on the survival of worms under controlled conditions a 50% lethal temperature of 39.2°C was recorded; and 15% salinity resulted in a 50% lethal time of 45 hr. The combined effects of temperature and salinity were tested. The efficiency of tube building under different conditions of temperature and salinity and with substrate particles of various sizes was tested and shown to be at a maximum at 25°C and 35% salinity using particles between 0.25 and 0.42 mm in diameter.
