Ctenodrilus serratus
(Schmidt, 1857)
Status in
U.K.
– cryptogenic.
There are two records of this species from the monitoring programme, from Kirkwall Marina in 2015 and from a scrape sample from Stromness Marina in 2016.
Ctenodrilus serratus
has a worldwide distribution and is frequently found in aquaria (
Fauvel 1927
). It was genetically demonstrated to be truly amphi-Atlantic in distribution by
Westheide et al. (2003)
, who concluded that the distribution must have been through dispersal and considered anthropogenic dispersal among the possibilities. It has been reported from the
Plymouth
area (
Marine Biological Association 1957
) and listed from the English Channel by
Dauvin et al. (2003)
. It is found primarily in the vicinity of port facilities (
unpublished data
) and it is here considered to be cryptogenic in the
U.K.
The records presented here from 2015 and 2016 are the first from
Orkney
.
