Hediste diversicolor
(O.F. Müller)
Nereis diversicolor
O.F. Müller, 1776
Ecology: FT, ST
Distribution: PA
Habitat: ES, SL
Comments: Occurrences of this species in inland saline water bodies of Europe are all probably the result of deliberate introduction as a food source. The Caspian Sea was stocked with the species during
1939–41
, but it was misidentified and treated as
Alitta succinea
for two decades (
Hartman 1960
). It also occurs in the Aral Sea (
Andreev
et al.
1992
) and Black Sea (
Manoleli 1980
).
