Summary
Description
Cirratulus cirratus has a long, slender, orange, pinkish or brownish-red body, with 75 to 130 segments, and can reach 12 cm in length. The head is a blunt cone with a row of 4 to 8 large black eyes either side that may meet on top of the head. There are two groups of up to 8 feeding tentacles on the first segment. Pairs of long slender gills arise at intervals from the whole length of the body and these appear as a mass of reddish threads when the worm is buried.

Biology information
Little information on the general biology or life history characteristics of this species was found. Cirratulus cirratus is regarded as a generally tolerant species and can be found in moderate densities in areas of high environmental disturbance (e.g. 120 per m² 500 m away from an oil platform) (Levell et al., 1989). Once larvae and juveniles settle, they remain in their burrow and adults do not move. It can grow up to 2 cm between reproductive episodes, which occur every 1-2 years (Olive, 1970).

Habitat Information
In Northumberland it is the dominant crevice organism on rocky shores between low and high water neaps (Olive, 1970). Cirratulus cirratus has been described as an opportunistic deposit feeder that is characteristic of areas of organic enrichment (Penry & Jumars, 1990). Cirratulus cirratus is mostly intertidal but is sometimes found subtidally (up to 50 m depth off the Devon coast) (Garwood, 1982; Olive, 1970).Life history

Life history information
Reproduction in Cirratulus cirratus is asynchronous i.e. it is not entrained to any of the seasons and members of the population are at different stages of reproductive development at any one time (Garwood, 1982; Gibbs, 1971). Oocytes are 150 µm in diameter and once fertilized are deposited in a jelly mass on the surface of rocks (Petersen, 1999). The eggs hatch as a ciliated post-trochophore after 6 days. The larvae are entirely benthic for the duration of their development, living off yolk for around 24 days after hatching and then commence adult style deposit feeding (Olive, 1970). Females can spawn 2-3 times in their lifetime and it takes 1-2 years after each spawning to mature a new clutch of oocytes (Olive, 1970). There are separate sexes, the males are white, females are lemon-yellow due to the colour of coelomic oocytes (Gibbs, 1971). Sex ratios vary and have been recorded as 1:1 (Olive, 1970) 1:1.7 and 1:2.8 (Gibbs, 1971).Asexual reproduction by epitoky (clones growing from the posterior end of the worm) may occur in Cirratulus cirratus. However, the taxonomic status of Cirratulus is in constant review and epitokes may be formed by another species that has been erroneously identified as Cirratulus cirratus (Petersen, 1999).
Sensitivity review
The MarLIN sensitivity assessment approach used below has been superseded by the MarESA (Marine Evidence-based Sensitivity Assessment) approach (see menu). The MarLIN approach was used for assessments from 1999-2010. The MarESA approach reflects the recent conservation imperatives and terminology and is used for sensitivity assessments from 2014 onwards.

Intolerance | Recoverability | Sensitivity | Evidence / Confidence | |
Substratum loss [Show more]Substratum lossBenchmark. All of the substratum occupied by the species or biotope under consideration is removed. A single event is assumed for sensitivity assessment. Once the activity or event has stopped (or between regular events) suitable substratum remains or is deposited. Species or community recovery assumes that the substratum within the habitat preferences of the original species or community is present. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus needs stones to live under in a muddy environment and if these were to be removed, mortality is likely to be very high due to desiccation and predation and an intolerance of high has been recorded. For recoverability see additional information. | High | Low | High | Very low |
Smothering [Show more]SmotheringBenchmark. All of the population of a species or an area of a biotope is smothered by sediment to a depth of 5 cm above the substratum for one month. Impermeable materials, such as concrete, oil, or tar, are likely to have a greater effect. Further details. EvidenceCirratulus cirratus lives in mud under stones with its feeding tentacles spread out on the mud surface. A sudden influx of sediment would probably interfere with feeding and gas exchange and cause high mortality. Therefore, an intolerance of high has been recorded. For recoverability see additional information. | High | Low | High | Very low |
Increase in suspended sediment [Show more]Increase in suspended sedimentBenchmark. An arbitrary short-term, acute change in background suspended sediment concentration e.g., a change of 100 mg/l for one month. The resultant light attenuation effects are addressed under turbidity, and the effects of rapid settling out of suspended sediment are addressed under smothering. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus is often found in estuaries (Clay, 1967g), which are areas of high suspended sediment and it is likely that it is tolerant to an increase in suspended sediment. Cirratulus cirratus feeds on precipitating particles and is likely to benefit from an increase in suspended organic matter. Therefore tolerant* has been recorded. | Tolerant* | Not relevant | Not sensitive* | Very low |
Decrease in suspended sediment [Show more]Decrease in suspended sedimentBenchmark. An arbitrary short-term, acute change in background suspended sediment concentration e.g., a change of 100 mg/l for one month. The resultant light attenuation effects are addressed under turbidity, and the effects of rapid settling out of suspended sediment are addressed under smothering. Further details EvidenceA decrease in suspended sediment is unlikely to make Cirratulus cirratus more vulnerable to predation. Cirratulus cirratus relies on particulate organic matter precipitating onto the substratum for food, so that a decrease in suspended particulates may reduce its food supply. However, the reduced turbidity may increase benthic primary productivity, which would be of benefit to Cirratulus cirratus. Overall, its food supply may be reduced and an intolerance of low has been recorded. | Low | Very high | Very Low | |
Desiccation [Show more]Desiccation
EvidenceCirratulus cirratus lives in mud under stones and is therefore unlikely to be subject to desiccation. Not relevant has been recorded. | Not relevant | Not relevant | Not relevant | Not relevant |
Increase in emergence regime [Show more]Increase in emergence regimeBenchmark. A one hour change in the time covered or not covered by the sea for a period of one year. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus is found from the subtidal up to the high water of neap tide level and an increase in emergence time is likely to exclude worms from the upper limit of their range. There would probably be some mortality near high water neap tide level and a shift of the population down to the new high water neaps level. Therefore, an intolerance of intermediate has been recorded. | Intermediate | High | Low | Very low |
Decrease in emergence regime [Show more]Decrease in emergence regimeBenchmark. A one hour change in the time covered or not covered by the sea for a period of one year. Further details EvidenceA decrease in emergence is likely to have the opposite effect of an increase and extend the range of the population up the shore to the new high water neaps level. Therefore, tolerant* has been recorded. | Tolerant* | Not relevant | Not sensitive* | |
Increase in water flow rate [Show more]Increase in water flow rateA change of two categories in water flow rate (view glossary) for 1 year, for example, from moderately strong (1-3 knots) to very weak (negligible). Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus feeds by laying its tentacles out on the surface of the mud and passing food particles to the mouth by ciliary movements. An increase in water flow rate may affect the ability of Cirratulus cirratus to collect food particles. Also, an increase in water flow rate may change sediment characteristics and remove the preferred sediment type of Cirratulus cirratus. In increase in water flow, e.g. from weak to strong (see benchmark) is likely to significantly affect the substratum, removing fine muddy deposits, and reducing the area of suitable habitat for Cirratulus cirratus. Therefore, an intolerance of intermediate has been recorded. | Intermediate | High | Low | Very low |
Decrease in water flow rate [Show more]Decrease in water flow rateA change of two categories in water flow rate (view glossary) for 1 year, for example, from moderately strong (1-3 knots) to very weak (negligible). Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus is found in estuaries and on muddy shores, where the water flow rate is slow so a decrease in water flow rate is unlikely to affect this species and this factor has been assessed as not relevant. | Not relevant | Not relevant | Not relevant | |
Increase in temperature [Show more]Increase in temperature
For intertidal species or communities, the range of temperatures includes the air temperature regime for that species or community. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus probably has wide temperature tolerances (7-25°C (Gibbs, 1971). Cirratulus cirratus is probably tolerant of temperature changes at the benchmark level. | Tolerant | Not relevant | Not sensitive | Moderate |
Decrease in temperature [Show more]Decrease in temperature
For intertidal species or communities, the range of temperatures includes the air temperature regime for that species or community. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus probably has wide temperature tolerances (7-25°C (Gibbs, 1971). During the extremely cold winter in the United Kingdom in 1962-63, the distribution of Cirratulus cirratus did not change (George, 1968). Cirratulus cirratus survived temperatures as low as -2°C for long periods but was killed after a few hours in -4°C due to ice crystals forming in its tissues (George, 1968). At the benchmark level, Cirratulus cirratus will probably not be adversely affected by a decrease in temperature and an in tolerance of low has been recorded. | Low | High | Low | High |
Increase in turbidity [Show more]Increase in turbidity
EvidenceReduced illumination due to turbidity may reduce the productivity of the microalgae that Cirratulus cirratus feeds upon. However, it also feeds on particulate organic matter and, therefore, is not likely to be adversely affected. | Tolerant | Not relevant | Not sensitive | Very low |
Decrease in turbidity [Show more]Decrease in turbidity
EvidenceA decrease in turbidity is likely to increase benthic microalgal productivity, which could potentially benefit Cirratulus cirratus. However, the relative contribution of benthic microalgae and organic matter to its diet is unknown. Therefore, tolerant has been recorded. | Tolerant | Not relevant | Not sensitive | Not relevant |
Increase in wave exposure [Show more]Increase in wave exposureA change of two ranks on the wave exposure scale (view glossary) e.g., from Exposed to Extremely exposed for a period of one year. Further details EvidenceIncreasing wave exposure increases the incidence of turnover of rocks on the shore and will also increase the size of rocks disturbed (Osman, 1977). If the rocks on the shore are turned over, anything underneath is likely to be washed out of the sediment by subsequent waves and suffer increased predation. Cirratulus cirratus is not a very motile species and if it were revealed by loss of a protecting rock, mortality is likely to be high and an intolerance of intermediate has been recorded to account for this. | Intermediate | High | Low | Low |
Decrease in wave exposure [Show more]Decrease in wave exposureA change of two ranks on the wave exposure scale (view glossary) e.g., from Exposed to Extremely exposed for a period of one year. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus is found from sheltered to extremely sheltered shores and therefore a decrease in wave exposure is not relevant. | Not relevant | Not relevant | Not relevant | |
Noise [Show more]Noise
EvidenceAt most, Cirratulus cirratus will have only a limited ability to detect sound or vibration and therefore is unlikely to be sensitive to noise. | Tolerant | Not relevant | Not sensitive | High |
Visual presence [Show more]Visual presenceBenchmark. The continuous presence for one month of moving objects not naturally found in the marine environment (e.g., boats, machinery, and humans) within the visual envelope of the species or community under consideration. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus does have eyes but it lives under rocks with only the deposit feeding tentacles exposed and so is probably tolerant to visual presence at the benchmark level. | Tolerant | Not relevant | Not sensitive | High |
Abrasion & physical disturbance [Show more]Abrasion & physical disturbanceBenchmark. Force equivalent to a standard scallop dredge landing on or being dragged across the organism. A single event is assumed for assessment. This factor includes mechanical interference, crushing, physical blows against, or rubbing and erosion of the organism or habitat of interest. Where trampling is relevant, the evidence and trampling intensity will be reported in the rationale. Further details. EvidenceAt the benchmark level, abrasion is likely to cause some mortality by moving stones and unearthing the worms. Disturbing rocks may also affect the survivorship of embryos in eggs attached to the rock surface. Therefore an intolerance of intermediate has been recorded. | Intermediate | High | Low | Very low |
Displacement [Show more]DisplacementBenchmark. Removal of the organism from the substratum and displacement from its original position onto a suitable substratum. A single event is assumed for assessment. Further details EvidenceCirratulus cirratus establishes under rocks in mud as a larva and there was no information on whether adults reburrow if disturbed. There is insufficient information to assess the intolerance of Cirratulus cirratus to displacement. | No information | No information | No information | Not relevant |

Synthetic compound contamination [Show more]Synthetic compound contaminationSensitivity is assessed against the available evidence for the effects of contaminants on the species (or closely related species at low confidence) or community of interest. For example:
The evidence used is stated in the rationale. Where the assessment can be based on a known activity then this is stated. The tolerance to contaminants of species of interest will be included in the rationale when available; together with relevant supporting material. Further details. EvidenceAfter a spill of fuel oil in Southampton Water, dispersants were used to clean certain areas and high mortalities of Cirratulus cirratus were observed (George, 1971). Three dispersants were tested for their effects on Cirratulus cirratus survivorship, BP 1002, Essolvene (which was used in Southampton Water) and Corexit 7664. BP 1002 and Essolvene become toxic at 100 ppm. BP 1002 caused 50% mortality at 129 ppm and 100% mortality at 144 ppm. Essolvene was slightly less toxic, causing 50% mortality at 162 ppm and 100% mortality at 200 ppm. Corexit was far less toxic than either BP 1002 or Essolvene. It took a concentration of 100,000 ppm of Corexit 7664 to cause 50% to Cirratulus cirratus. Longer exposure to sublethal concentrations of BP 1002 or Essolvene completely prevented the maturation of oocytes (George, 1971). The evidence presented above suggests an intolerance of high to synthetic chemicals. For recoverability, see additional information below. | High | Low | High | High |

Hydrocarbon contamination [Show more]Hydrocarbon contaminationEvidenceA spill of fuel oil in Southampton water lead to widespread oiling of intertidal mud but this had very little effect on Cirratulus cirratus abundance. The thickness of the oil was not sufficient to prevent oxygen reaching the sediment and at high tide, the oil refloated so that Cirratulus cirratus could feed as normal. Embryo development was also unaffected by oil (George, 1971) and an intolerance of low has been recorded. | Low | High | Low | High |

Decrease in salinity [Show more]Decrease in salinity
EvidenceCirratulus cirratus can tolerate salinities down to 17 psu (Gibbs, 1971) and so is likely to survive the benchmark chronic change as it is normally found intertidally at full salinity. An acute change will probably stress a population of Cirratulus cirratus but not cause high mortality and an intolerance of low has been recorded. | Low | High | Low | |
Changes in oxygenation [Show more]Changes in oxygenationBenchmark. Exposure to a dissolved oxygen concentration of 2 mg/l for one week. Further details. EvidenceCirratulus cirratus is characteristic of areas of organic enrichment (Penry & Jumars, 1990), although no further information was found. Therefore, an intolerance of low has been recorded, albeit with very low confidence. | Low | High | Low | Very low |

Additional information
Recoverability. The fecundity of Cirratulus cirratus is unknown but the larvae are entirely benthic throughout their development (Olive, 1970) and, if an area is completely defaunated, recolonization by Cirratulus cirratus may be slow (George, 1968). Recovery by populations that suffer partial mortality could take up to 2 years. However, populations that are completely wiped out may not recover at all due to the limited dispersal capability of the larvae of Cirratulus cirratus (George, 1968).
