Notes on Norwegian marine Amphipoda. 8. Amphipods found in association with sponges and tunicates
Main Article Content
Abstract
Nineteen amphipod species in seven different families have been recorded living on or in Porifera and/or Tunicata in Norwegian waters. Of these Laothoes meinerti, Cheirimedon latimanus and two species of Paramphithoidae are confined to sponges, while Lysianella petalocera, Orchomene spp., Andaniella pectinata and Stenothoe marina have been collected from ascidians, but not from sponges. The most common symbiontic amphipods in Norwegian waters are Leucothoe spinicarpa, Aristias spp. and Perrierella audouiniana; these amphipods, and also Amphithopsis longicaudata, Tritaeta gibbosa and Phippsiella similis have been found both in association with sponges and with ascidians. Little is known about the biology of any of these associations.
