General Characteristics
● Elongated bodies● Bilateral symmetry● Cephalized● Hydrostatic skeleton● Most are benthic
○ Some species have adapted to pelagic lifestyles

Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
● Flat bodies● Turbellarians are free living
○ Meiofauna: living in spaces between sediments
○ Ventral side ciliated and secretes mucus
● Most turbellarians are carnivores or detritivores
● Chemoreceptors

Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
● Unique, prey-capturing mechanisms○ Suffocation○ Stab with penis
● Pharynx secretes enzyme and pulls in food
● Food is digested in the gastrovascular cavity○ Lateral branches increase surface
area

Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
● Reproduction○ Asexually
■ Fission - whole animal regenerate from small piece
○ Sexually■ Hermaphroditic■ Reciprocal Copulation

Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
● Flukes and tapeworms are parasites○ Flukes generally have
intermediate hosts

Phylum Platyhelminthes: Flatworms
● Flukes and tapeworms are parasites○ Tapeworms grow
large in large hosts■ Sperm whale
tapeworms grow 30+ meters

Phylum Nematoda: Nematodes
● Roundworms, tapered at both ends
● Most numerous animals on Earth○ 1m2 of sediment may
contain 4-5 million nematodes

Phylum Nematoda: Nematodes
● Nonparasitic species are benthic scavengers are small (<5cm)
● Parasitic and carnivorous species are larger
● Reproduction varies○ Hermaphroditic or
seperate sexes

Phylum Annelida: Annelids
● Bodies divided internally to enhance leverage and mobility
● Setae: locomotion and defense● Polychaetes
○ Sandworms, clamworms, feather dusters, tubeworms, lugworms
○ 1mm to 3m range in size
![Page 12: Marine Wormssciencewithmsmaher.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/...marine... · Other Marine Worms Horsehair worms are free-living as adults but are parasites of arthropods as juveniles Spiny-headed](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051807/600688df84b99f634b4b9748/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Phylum Annelida: Annelids
● Polychaetes (continued)○ Sedentary
■ Burrow or build tubes of sand, calcium carbonate, and proteins
■ Filter feed with cilia that extend from tubes and the aid of chemoreceptors
○ Non-Sedentary■ Jaws with teeth■ Nocturnally hunt small invertebrates or eat algae

Phylum Annelida: Annelids
● Polychaetes (continued)○ Digestive system similar to ours○ Release fecal pellets out of tube to prevent fouling and
often form fecal casts, or castings, which accumulate outside the tube
○ Asexual reproduction via budding/regeneration○ Most reproduce only sexually
■ Distinct male and females

Phylum Annelida: Annelids
Sexual Reproduction in Polychaetes
● Epitoky○ Sexually immature worm (atoke) transforms into
sexually mature form (epitoke)■ Male and females
○ Swarming is controlled by lunar cycle, tides, and time of year

Other Marine Worms
● Spoon worms have a large proboscis used for feeding
● Bearded fireworms lack digestive tracts and absorb nutrients from seawater with tentacles instead

Other Marine Worms
● Ribbon worms are primarily benthic and have been measured up to 30m
● Peanut worms are primarily benthic suspension feeders. They contract their bodies o that they resemble a peanut kernel

Other Marine Worms
● Horsehair worms are free-living as adults but are parasites of arthropods as juveniles
● Spiny-headed worms are parasites of fish, birds, and mammals. Their proboscis has rows of tiny spines used to puncture the intestines of the host.
