“…Çinar (2013) suggested that 36 of the 292 alien polychaete species that he reviewed were probably moved by aquaculture, including 1 sabellid and 15 polydorid shell-borers. However, he undoubtedly underestimated the full extent of the distribution of these pests as he only considered records where worms were specifically identified as alien; for example, he did not list P. hoplura as an alien in Australia, although it had already been recorded there several times (Blake & Kudenov 1978, Hutchings & Turvey 1984, Lleonart et al 2003. Our tally has increased the number of known alien shell-infesting polydorids to 17, with the addition of Boccardia chilensis and Dipo ly dora concharum.…”

“…Similarly, many polydorid species (in cluding non-indigenous and pest species) have been recorded in South Africa (14; e.g. Boonzaaier et al 2014, Williams 2015, Australia (9; Blake & Kudenov 1978, Skeel 1979, Sato-Okoshi et al 2008, Walker 2014Handley & Bergquist 1997, Read & Handley 2004, Read 2010), Chile (6; Sato-Okoshi & Takatsuka 2001, Moreno et al 2006) and Brazil (5; Radashevsky et al 2006). In contrast, only 4 polydorid species have been re corded in China, on 5 hosts (Zhou et al 2010).…”

“…Since its initial identification as a pest of oysters by Haswell (1885), B. polybranchia has been recorded as a pest of C. gigas in France (Ruellet 2004, Royer et al 2006 and My ti lus edulis in Australia (Pregenzer 1983). There is, however, much confusion in the literature around this species (Blake & Kudenov 1978, Simon et al 2010 and it probably includes several morphologically similar species. Additionally, it has not been recorded with oysters in Australia since 1983 (Pregenzer 1983, Walker 2014), while the photograph provided in Ruellet (2004, their Fig.…”

“…Similarly, P. ciliata was originally described in sediment (Johnston 1838) and its identification as a shell-borer is therefore very controversial. Blake (1971) and Blake & Kudenov (1978) suggested that P. ciliata infesting cultured molluscs on the east coast of North America and in Australia were probably P. websteri. Later, Mustaquim (1988) demonstrated that shell-boring P. ciliata in Europe were molecularly distinct from non-boring forms; yet P. ciliata has been identified as a shell-borer several times since 1988, in Europe, India and China (our Table 1, Gao et al 2014), thus perpetuating earlier errors.…”

“…Reviews that consider polydorids in general, and shell-infestors associated with cultured molluscs in particular, usually have a regional focus: Chile (SatoOkoshi & Takatsuka (Zhou et al 2010), Australia (Blake & Kudenov 1978, Sato-Okoshi et al 2008, Walker 2011, Walker 2014, New Zealand (Read 2004) and the United States of America (e.g. Blake 1969b).…”

Species of the Polydora-complex (i.e. polydorids) are the most common shell-boring polychaetes found on cultured molluscs. However, which species become problematic depend on their ability to reach mollusc farms and flourish under culture conditions. We therefore hypothesise that the planktonic larval phases of pest polydorids on molluscs grown on-shore will be short (as is typical of adelphophagic larvae, which can maintain large local populations) while those of polydorids on molluscs grown off-shore will be long (as is typical of planktotrophic larvae, which can disperse long distances to farms). Principal component and discriminant analyses of information extracted from the literature partly supported this hypothesis by identifying larval developmental mode and pest species as contributing more to pest status than host species and culture mode, with differential influence on pest status in different situations and potential bias through incorrect identification of polydorid species. χ 2 analyses confirmed that pest status depended on host culture method and pest larval mode. Pest polydorids producing adelphophagic larvae in on-shore systems may reflect the development of large local populations on hosts with culture periods > 2 yr. The many records of pests in off-shore and near-shore systems with pest species producing planktotrophic larvae may reflect shorter host culture periods and the higher incidence of planktotrophy among polydorid species in general. Polydora websteri, P. uncinata, P. hoplura and P. haswelli are the most frequently recorded and widespread pest species globally, although the taxonomy of these and shell-boring P. ciliata and Boccardia polybranchia need to be clarified. The positive relationships between the numbers of alien shell-borers and pests, and the number of hosts cultured per country confirm that mollusc aquaculture is an important vector and reservoir of alien pest polychaetes.
