Subject Polychaetes
 
Description Polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been recognised as the main toxic components of crude oil polluting
the manne environment. The larvae of invertebrates, including polychaetes, are more susceptible to toxicants in the
environment. The effect of different concentrations of water accommodated hydrocarbons on survival and
settlement of Hydroides elegans (Haswell) was studied in the laboratory. A parallel study of the settlement pattern
In the field were conducted using terra-cotta tiles. The dissolved / dispersed hydrocarbon concentration in the chosen area of Cochin harbour was mOnItored dunng the study period. The presence of PAHs in high concentrations was
observed to have an adverse effect on the settlement of the larvae of Hydroides elegans.
