Extract

The genus Bathyporeia has featured in many reports on the ecology of sandy beaches, yet little is known of the annual reproductive cycles of the species in British waters. Watkin (1938,1939a, b, 1941, 1942) has studied the taxonomy and aspects of the ecology of the genus, and more recently Salvat (1967) has described the annual reproductive cycle of B. pilosa Lindstrom, B. pelagica (Bate), B. sarsi Watkin and B. guilliamsonia (Bate) on the west coast of France. The present report is the result of an investigation into the vertical distribution and annual reproductive patterns of B. pilosa and B. pelagica on a sandy beach at Ynyslas, Cardiganshire. Whilst enabling comparisons to be made with Salvat's data, this study also forms the basis for an investigation into the ecophysiological complex of B. pilosa and B. pelagica.
