| Notes |
Diet: generally for group, they are carnivorous; in some cases only the body juices are ingested but the whole prey may be taken in. feed on protozoans, other microfauna and at times prey their own size [details] Dimensions: length up to 150 mm by 3 mm [details] Distribution: western slope of Newfoundland, including the southern part of the Strait of Belle Isle but excluding the upper 50m in the area southwest of NL; Cobscook Bay to Chesapeake Bay [details] Distribution: Bay of Fundy to Chesapeake Bay [details] Habitat: intertidal [details] Habitat: benthic, living under rocks or in burrows in soft substrata, or crawling among algae, hydroids, or in bottom debris [details] remark: species used to be named Lineus socialis; species fragment easily when handled [details] Reproduction: sexes are separate; fertilization is external for most species. Asexual reproduction also occurs by fragmentation [details] Synonymy: Borlasia octoculata (partim) = Ramphogordius sanguineus Gordius oculatus (partim) probably = Ramphogordius sanguineus , but there still is some uncertainty about the genus name of the first mentionned species Lineus oculatus (partim) probably = Ramphogordius sanguineus, but there still is some uncertainty about the genus name of the first mentionned species [details] | |||||||
