磷沙蚕科(學名:Chaetopteridae)是多毛綱隐居亚纲[1]之下的一個海洋濾食蠕蟲,终生管栖,居住在海底沉積物或硬基層內挖掘的垂直或U形棲管内。蟲體本身亦已高度適應於在牠們分泌的棲管內生活:棲管的两端开口露出泥沙表面,而其身体分为三段,負責身體的不同功能(異律分節[1]。這三段為[2]

  • 前段:背腹扁平,有9对圆锥形突起,围口节为一宽领状,背面有1对围口触手,口前叶退化;
  • 中段由5节组成,第一节两侧有1对大的翼状突起;
  • 后段约有30多个体节组成。

另外,疣足腹鬚转变为吸盘,用以附着在管壁上;而其背鬚則转变成肌肉质的鼓动器,能鼓动水流,以获得食料和氧气。

Inside the tube the animal is segmented and regionally specialized, with highly modified appendages on different segments for cutting the tunnel, feeding, or creating suction for the flow of water through the tube home. The modified segments for feeding are on the 12th segment from the head for members of this family.

該管是分段和區域專業的,具有高度修改的附件用於切割隧道,給水或通過管道產生水流。 飼養改良的部分在這個家族的成員頭上的第12段。

若蟲

编辑

本科物種的若蟲在所有多毛綱的物種來說體型最大[3],從 0.4 mm 到 2.5 mm不等;有紀錄最大的長達 12 mm; the late stage of an unknown phyllodicid species).[3] Chaetopteridae larvae are barrel-like in form with one to two ciliated bands at the midsection.[3] They also have a large buccal funnel.[3] These larvae are often long lived and effectively disseminate, although are constrained geographically to their appropriate ranges for successful adult growth.[3] The most common form of larval developmental plan for polychaetes is the trochophore larvae.[4] The trochophore will add segments sequentially from a posterior growth zone to produce a nectochaete larva.[4] Chaetopterus represents a distinct deviation from this general design.[4] At no point in larval growth stages does the metatrochophore take on the clearly segmented form of the typical nectochaete larva.[4] The 15 segments of Chaetopterus are formed by subdivision of existing anlage.[4]

Feeding

编辑

The Chaetopteridae have several genera with peculiar and well-studied filter feeding mechanisms. The genera Chaetopterus, Mesochaetopterus, and Spiochaetopterus feed using a thin mucus net suspended across the upper portion of their tube. The mucus net is secreted by a hooplike structure called the aliform notopodia arch. The net can grow at a rate as great as one millimeter per second as water currents generated by the notopodial fans pass plankton through the net. When the net grows large enough it contacts the ciliated cup, which rolls up the net. When the roll becomes large the net is disconnected from the aliform notopodia and is rolled into a ball before the ciliated mid-dorsal groove transports it to the mouth.[2]
