Data Generalised animal Neanthes arenaceodentata Unit Description
v 0.02 0.04419 cm/d energy conductance
kap 0.8 0.9899 - allocation fraction to soma
kap_R 0.95 0.475 - reproduction efficiency
p_M 18 426.2 J/d.cm^3 vol-spec som maint
k_J 0.002 0.002 1/d maturity maint rate coefficient
kap_G 0.8 0.8035 - growth efficiency

Discussion

  • Reproduction efficiency kap_R has been set to 0.95/2 because the species is simultaneous hermaphroditic

Facts

  • The female deposits her eggs and dies shortly thereafter, while the male remains in the tube to "incubate" the eggs (Ref: MoorDill1993)
  • Larval development is direct via a non-planktonic metatrochophore larvae and occurs entirely within the parental tube; juveniles exit the tube 3 to 4 wk after egg deposition (Ref: MoorDill1993)
