DISTRIBUTION OF MARENZELLERIA CF. VIRIDIS (POLYCHAETA: SPIONIDAE) ALONG THE POLISH COAST OF THE BALTIC SEA

The distribution of Marenzelleria cf. viridis was studied in the Polish zone of the southern Baltic in relation to major environmental variables. Quantitative samples were collected in the 1996-2002 period from 62 stations using a 25 kg van Veen grab and a 200 kg box corer. Individuals of M. cf viridis were found to be abundant throughout the area of study down to depths of about 25-30 m, while the polychaete was encountered sporadically down to 76 m. M. cf. viridis occurred mainly on sandy bottoms, and low abundance was recorded on the silty bottoms
