“…Bachelet et al (2000) [11] reported that P. cornuta (7030 individuals) was one of the most dominant polychaeta species in the Prevost Lagoon (Southern France). P. cornuta was reported from the Romanian coast of the Black Sea as 6000-22,000 ind•m -2 (and approximately 95,000 ind•m -2 in extremely polluted sediments) [8]) and the Crimea [65]. Surugiu and Feunteun (2008) [5] reported that P. cornuta was one of the most dominant polychaeta species (444 ind•m -2 ; di = 9.08%) on the Romanian coast of the Black Sea where domestic pollution was observed.…”

This paper includes three exotic polychaeta species, Hydroides dianthus (Verrill, 1873), Polydora cornuta Bosc, 1802, and Pseudopolydora paucibranchiata (Okuda, 1937), found during benthic samplings in Çardak Lagoon (Turkish Straits). The sampling was collected from the sandy and silty bottoms known to be polluted by sewage discharges. A total of 45 specimens of exotic polychaetes (H. dianthus: 1; P. cornuta: 4; P. paucibranchiata: 40) were found. The correlation values between the annual average values of the nutrients and the polychaeta abundance showed that the highest positive relationships with the abundance were between sand content, total phosphate, and pH. P. cornuta was the most observed species with a frequency index value of 75%, while H. dianthus was represented with a single species in the study area. Albeit the previous studies, P. paucibranchiata was observed most abundantly in the sampling station having low organic matter amounts. The study showed that opportunistic polychaetes observed in Çardak Lagoon mostly preferred organically poor sediments.
