Species in the class Polychaeta play diverse ecological roles (e.g., carnivores, deposit feeders, suspension feeders), use different habitats (e.g., infauna, epifauna), and display different mobility patterns (e.g., errant and tubicolous lifestyles), all of which influences how they respond to bottom fishing.

(2005) found that bottom fishing results in reduced abundance of multiple species of shrimp, brittle stars (e.g., Ophiopholis aculeata), tubicolous polychaetes (e.g., Potamilla neglecta), and the toad crab Hyas coarctatus.

The role of ophiuroids on infaunal abundance is not well established yet, although high densities were associated with low abundance of sedentary tubicolous polychaetes in the Arctic and deep-sea communities (Brenchley, 1981).

The burrowing activities of oligochaetes can often prevent tubicolous polychaetes from becoming established in a particular habitat (McCann & Levin 1989).

At the end of our study the scallops in suspended culture were abundantly covered by tubicolous polychaetes and barnacles (especially along the outer edge of the shell) and also by a few oysters.

Traditionally, cornulitids constitute a family of tubicolous fossils with unknown zoological affinities (Fisher 1962), comprising four genera: Cornulites Schlotheim, 1820, Comulitella (Nicholson, 1872a), Conchicolites Nicholson, 1872b, and Kolihaia Prand, 1944.

NCA induce settlement, metamorphosis, or both in a variety of echinoderms (e.g., Rowley, 1989; Johnson et al., 1991), molluscs (e.g., Barnes and Gonor, 1973; Heslinga, 1981; Rumrill and Cameron, 1983; Morse and Morse, 1984; Moss and Tong, 1992), annelids (e.g., Gee and Knight-Jones, 1962; Gee, 1965), and coelenterates e.g., Harrigan, 1972; Sebens, 1983a, b; Morse et al., 1988), but do not provide a morphogenic signal for several species of tubicolous annelids (e.g., De Silva, 1962; Gee and Knight-Jones, 1962; Jensen and Morse, 1984).
