Image of Nereis
Description:
Nereidid larvae are usually found at the 3-4 chaetiger stage in our samples. They have visible antennae and tentacular cirri projecting from the sides of the head, as well as a pair of anal cirri. The parapodia are well-developed and there are usually dark or reddish spots visible at the bases of two adjacent pairs, as shown above. This is presumably Nereis sandersi Blake, the only nereidid at 9°N.
