CONTRIBUTIONS TO A BIOLOGICAL SURVEY 
OF SANTA MONICA BAY, CALIFORNIA 


Introduction 


The purpose of this report is to record the results 
of bottom sampling in Santa Monica Bay between 1952 and 
1956, and to evaluate the analyses of these samples in 
terms of organic productivity by systematic faunal units. 
The analyses are believed to approximate the ecological 
associations of animal populations as they exist in 
nature. Values of comparative biomasses are expressed 
in terms of varying horizontal and vertical distances 
from the effluent outlets. The major faunal units are 
identified and their affinities noted with those of 
adjacent and more distant areas. In Santa Monica Bay, 
six biological zones are recognized. Each supports a 
characteristic fauna differing primarily for depth of 
sea-floor, nature of sediments, and varying with distance 
from the ends of effluent pipes. The more abundant or 
conspicuous faunal categories are named for each zone, 
resulting in about 500 specific entities. 

About 150 measured bottom samples were taken from 
selected parts of the bay. They are in the range of 
stations numbered 2148-52 to 4451-56, made by the VELERO 
IV. Most samples were quantitative and taken with a 
2 1/2 cubic foot orange peel grab. Others were taken 


with a larger (5-6 cubic foot) Campbell grab, a biological

dredge, a beam trawl, and baited lobster traps. A few 
animals were snagged on hydrographic lines. The quanti- 
tative samples differed in volume from a fraction to 
five cubic feet, or 1.67 cubic meters. These variations 
were mainly because of differences in depths and kinds 
of sediments, with the greatest variations being from 
shallow hard-packed bottoms. 

The concentration of samples from shallow areas in 
the vicinity of the Hyperion outfall, and along the shelf 
bordering the upper end of Santa Monica Canyon, was to 
more intensively study patchiness and present conditions 


along paths that a series of new outfall lines may occupy. 
Description of the Area 


The benthos of Santa Monica Bay is a northward 
continuation of the San Pedro area and shares many of 
its biological characteristics. Both embayments have 
a similar shallower (to 300 feet) and deeper (to 1500 feet) 
shelf, a slope (to 2250 feet or more ), and a deep or 
subsill basin (to 2940 feet). The faunal groups consist 
of similar categories, and differ mainly in the numbers 
of their occurrence because of physical differences. 

The San Pedro area is traversed by a channel through 
which a strong current flows and its bottoms, therefore, 
Support some associations which are sparse or not rep- 
resented in Santa Monica Bay. The presence of submerged 


mountains (the Lasuen Seamount and Six-Mile Bank at either

side of its southern sill, and two similar mounts at 
either end of the northern sill) account for some gross 
differences. Its sediments are more diversified and have 
many rubbly slopes. In their deeper parts these slopes 
have associations of glass sponge which are sparse or 
lacking in Santa Monica Bay except in scattered patches 
along the outer slopes of Santa Monica Canyon, The 
shallower submerged slopes, continuous with the Palos 
Verdes Hills, have an unusually diversified and abundant 
benthonic fauna which in amount is unparalleled in any 
other area of southern California, Although the specific 
categories occur in other regions where currents prevail, 
their quantities are much diminished, 

The sea floor of Santa Monica Bay is divisible into 
six faunal zones, numbered I to VI (May 7, 1956 report, 
p. 13), Zone I refers to the broad, shallow shelf 
‘extending west from Hyperion; II refers to the shallow 
triangular area between Redondo and Palos Verdes Hills, 
and west to the outer end of Redondo Canyon; III refers 
to the northern shelf of Santa Monica Bay to depths of 
330 fathoms; IV refers to Santa Monica Canyon, and V 
refers to Redondo Canyon. In Figure 1 is shown their 
locations and the serial arabic numbers for zones III, 
IV, and V. Those for zone I are more completely detailed 
in Figure 2, 

The shallower bottoms of Santa Monica Bay are populated 


mainly by animals existing within the sediments which

are muddy, sandy, or mixed. The sea floor appears smooth 
and nearly barren (Figure 3), but the presence of in- 
numerable small hillocks, holes, and other irregularities 
verify the existence of an abundant fauna which consists 
mainly of different kinds of smaller metazoan animals. 

An occasional five-rayed shallow depression is made by 

an Astropecten, and the slender erect sticklike projections 
are tubes of phoronids, onuphids, or the stiff stipe of a 
sea whip. 

Animal associations of rocky or gravelly areas are 
limited mainly to the upper slopes of Santa Monica Canyon, 
as in the outer regions of Zone I. Macrokelps, which 
require shallow rocky surfaces for attachment of the 
stipe, are mainly restricted to the northern areas of 
Santa Monica Bay. A small triangular area (Zone II) 
between the upper end of Redondo Canyon and the Palos 
Verdes Hillis, supports a diversity of kinds of animals 
in unusual concentrations. The broad sandy shelf and 
Slopes of the western and northwestern end of Zone I 
have concentrations of brittle stars requiring quiet 
water. The bottom of Redondo Canyon below 300 feet 
(Zone V) is overlain by muddy sediments which support 
unique associations of animals having their greatest 
known concentrations in this place. The fauna of Santa 
Monica Canyon, below 300 feet (Zone IV) resembles that 
of Zone V, but is more limited and dispersed. Analyses 


of samples from these bottoms are given in the Appendix.

The broad flat shelf extending west from Hyperion 
to the upper end of Santa Monica Canyon (Zone I) comprises 
85 to 90 square miles, It can be divided into faunal 
areas expressed in terms of distance from the outfall. 
Six faunal groups are named, each with west (I W), south- 
west (I SW), and northwest (I NW) sectors. The boundaries 
as noted in the report of May 7, 1956 are retained except 
that the outer fringe of the Limited-Enriched-Fauna in 
I W has been moved west about a fifth of a mile to encompass 
all of the stations in the I W-12 sector (Figure 2). This 
fauna, as well as the adjacent Unlimited-Diminished- 
Fauna, have been more completely sampled since the last 


report was issued. 
Methods and Equipment 


The samples taken with the Hayward orange peel grab 
were screened on board ship through sieves of which the 
finest measured 24 meshes to the inch, bottled in suitable 
containers, and fixed with formalin added to seawater, 

As soon as possible thereafter the samples were trans- 
ported to the laboratory where cleaning and analyses 

were done (Hartman, 1955). Because of these collecting 
methods, many smaller metazoan animals (especially smaller 
crustaceans, worms, mollusks and others) were undoubtedly 
lost. However, the counts of animals were high in spite 
of such unmeasurable losses and the species are believed 


to be characteristic of the areas investigated.

The grab was usually filled when soft fine-grained 
bottoms were sampled. In rocky bottoms it was less suc- 
cessful, so either a biological dredge or a trawl was 
used to obtain qualitative measures, Volumes of indivi- 
dual grabs varied most in shallow water where sediments 
were hard packed. Thus, differences from nearby stations 
varied as much as 300%, For example, in sector I W-12c 
at station 4325 with a medium to coarse green glauconite 
sand bottom, 1.88 cubic foot was recovered, and in 
I W-19a at station 4329 in silt and sand, 0.06 cubic 
foot was recovered. 

Baited lobster traps were used in the vicinity of 
the outfall to lure foraging animals not easily taken 
by other means. At first, traps with copper and brass 
fittings were lowered and found unsuccessful, perhaps 
because of repellant metallic ions leached into the 
seawater. Another time the entrance of the trap had 
been clogged by a crab too large to enter or escape, 
so that the entrance of other kinds of animals was impeded. 
Other traps recovered various foraging animals such as 
crabs, flounders, and snails, and smaller associated 
animals, 

Beam-trawl fishing (Zone II-5) was incidental except 
for the catch of certain kinds of fishes from water over 
a shallow sandy bottom. 

Some human factors are probably reflected in the 


sorting and analyses of the samples, which were done 


10 


by the writer. As the work progressed, it was obvious 
that an increasing number of kinds of animals were being 
recognized, partly because many animal species lie in 
tubes or burrows made by other kinds, or are covered with 
debris, or occupy various sheltered nooks not easily 
seen, (Analyses were usually made with the aid of a 
dissecting microscope.) Such was the case with many 
small tubicolous animals, Monobrachium, a commensal 
hydroid on small bivalves, an unknown flabelligeriid 
found in considerable numbers in dead shells of Cadulus 
(tooth shell), commensal and parasitic animals associated 
with host species, and other kinds. In time, therefore, 
it may be necessary to review all of the earlier samples. 
This can still be done since most have been preserved. 
Fortunately, experiences Paninied from SHEE OE studies 

in the San Pedro area, where many animals are the same, 
made the recognition of most species simpler. 

Emphasis on the importance of annelids from the 
start might have beefi due to interests on the part of the 
investigator. However, it is believed that this group 
will loom the largest in mass productivity and diversity 
to anyone who will examine the samples, and that they, 
together with the ophiuroids and the smaller though poorly 
known entomostracans, are the most important constituents 


in the bottoms investigated.

Faunal Affinities 


Ecological 


The benthonic fauna in Santa Monica Bay has its 
closest affinities with that in the adjacent San Pedro 
area, The kinds and numbers of species are somewhat 
higher in the San Pedro embayment because of its greater 
diversity of physical features. It also supports many 
species requiring currents, such as the large associations 
of Chaetopterus (polychaete), Ophiothrix (brittle star), 
and gorgonian corals which flourish in abundance near 
Whites Point; the large beds of Tagelus ( jack-knife 
clam) just outside the Los Angeles breakwater, and the 
siliceous sponge associations along the steep slopes 
of submerged mountains. These, and other kinds, are 
Sparse to absent in the Santa Monica area. Undersea 
gardens of macrokelps with their rich associations of 
animals both in the protecting canopy above and in the 
sediments below, which abound in great numbers along the 
leeward shores of Santa Catalina Island, are present 
near Malibu in Santa Monica Bay, but much less extensive. 

The outer basins (Catalina, Santa Cruz, San Clemente, 
and others) off southern California have been found 
(Hartman, unpublished) to have many different kinds of 
animals not present in the near shore basins (San Pedro 
and Santa Monica). The densities in the outer basins 
(mass productivities) are, however, much lower except in 


places where nutrients are supplied from outside sources

(as at Catalina Harbor on the outer side of Santa Catalina 
Island). The absence from, or sparsity in, the inner 
basins suggest that the species have different temperature 
requirements, either as larvae or adults,-.or that there 
are competitive factors which may be selective. 

The most abundant animals in the shallower bottoms 
of Santa Monica Bay are various kinds of polychaetes, 
smaller crustaceans (entomostracans) and ophiuroids. 
Others which may be present in abundance at scattered 
places are various types of mollusks, sipunculids, 
echiuroids, a stalked brachiopod, nemerteans, and other 
animals, most of which lie partly or wholly buried in the 
sediments. 

Those in shallower depths are small in size, exceedingly 
numerous, and perhaps have short life spans. Those in 
moderate depths tend to be larger in size, fewer in numbers, 
and are more diversified, The deepest bottoms (in the 
basin) are impoverished or dead, 

The dominance of one or two species over extensive 
areas, such as has been described from shallow bottoms 
of western Europe (Danish authors), from Puget Sound 
(Shelford and associates), from Long Island Sound (Sanders), 
and other places, has not been observed in either the 
Santa Monica or San Pedro areas. Instead, populations 
exist in patterns much like a patch-work design, with 
irregular or unpredictable recurrences and in various 


kinds of associations A few species have been more or

less constantly associated with certain kinds of sediments. 
Such are the epifaunal Chloeia pinnata (an amphinomid 
annelid) and the tubicolous Pectinaria californiensis 
(the cone worm) on sandy or silty bottoms and in shallow 
to fairly deep water. Ampharetids (Amphicteis, Amage), 
Maldane, Nothria pallida and some terebellids are associated 
with soft muddy bottoms in shallow to greater depths. 
Species of Glycera, Ampharete, Onuphis nebulosa, 
Phyllochaetopterus prolifica with attached Scalpellum 
(stalked barnacle), Pherusa capulata, Isocirrus planiceps, 
and some other kinds are most frequent in mixed bottoms, 
especially where coarse sand or gravel prevails. Rocky 
bottoms support such attached forms as solitary coral, 
Corynactis (an anemone), various attached serpulid worms, 
and crevice or nestling kinds as chitons, various other 
mollusks, and scale worms. Some of the rocky areas of 
the upper end of Santa Monica Canyon show evidence of 
former colonies of pholad mollusks, for which occupants 
have not been recovered. These rocks are now inhabited 
by borers of smaller dimensions such as sipunculid, a 
smali clam, Saxicava arctica, a sabellid worm, Hypsicomus, 
and others. In deep water, wood may be penetrated by 
another boring mollusk, Xylophaga. 

Near effluent outlets, the kinds of bottoms have 
largely determined the kinds of animal associations. 
In coarse, mixed bottoms with little or no current, as 


at Hyperion, the conspicuous animal is Diopatra ornata.

Where currents occur, as at Whites Point, it is Chaetopterus 
variopedatus with Ophiothrix spiculata. In sandy or muddy 
bottoms it is Nothria elegans, and where bottoms are 
mixed with gravel it may be Glycera or Nephtys species. 
The most flourishing population of Diopatra ornata 
has been found close inshore near Malibu Point. It is 
adjacent to macrokelps on which it may depend for its 
food and tube=-building materials, The densest colony 
of Chaetopterus is at Whites Point, This species feeds 
by secreting a mucus mesh in which it captures various 
microorganisms as they are swept along with the currents. 
The preponderance of a few families of animals is 
noteworthy. The onuphids are well represented with 
Diopatra ornata, usually in coarse sediments near shore 
or near outfalls, and Nothria elegans occurs in finer 
bottoms at similar levels. In deeper waters, these are 
replaced by Onuphis nebulosa, QO. vexillaria, Diopatra 
tridentata, or others. The maldanids, represented in 
shallow waters by Praxillelila and Axiothella are replaced 
in other areas by Maidane in soft bottoms, and by Isocirrus 
in gravelly bottoms. Among the chaetopterids, Chaetopterus 
is tolerant to effluent and requires currents; Phylio-~ 
chaetopterus prolifica requires mixed bottoms and thrives 
in a wide range of vertical depths; Telepsavus occurs 
in shallow fine sandy sediments; Mesochaetopterus is in 
soft deeper bottoms, and another kind of Phyliochaetopterus 


occurs in subsili depths of the basins.

Among the glycerids, Glycera americana is predominantly 
present in mixed bottoms in shallow water. It gives way 
to G, capitata in finer sediments and deeper water; to 
G. tesselata at moderate depths, and to G, branchiopoda 
at deepest levels, Other kinds of systematically-related 
animals have shown similar patterns of replacement with 
differences in depth and kinds of sediments. In Santa 
Monica Bay, such species are in the spionid, magelonid, 
cirratulid, paraonid, nephtyid, goniadid, and other family 
groups. 

The enteropneusts (acorn worms) are noteworthy for 
their occurrence in shallow to deep areas. Members of 
the Spengellidae are represented by no less than three 
species, and the Ptychoderidae by one or more. Saccoglossus 
of the spengellids occurs in shallow soft bottoms, and 
Schizocardium (with perhaps more than one species) has 
been found in depths of a few feet (in Zone II) to about 
2300 feet on the Palos Verdes slope. Stereobalanus has 
a Similar wide vertical range, and the ptychoderids have 


been found in shallow area (Woodwick, in Hartman, 1955). 


Faunal Affinities 


Geographical 


Santa Monica Bay belongs to the temperate east 
Pacific faunal subdivision, or the Californian Province 
(Ekman, 1953, pp. 151-156), which reaches north to about 


42° north latitude (near Cape Mendocino, California). At

its southern range it extends to Lower California or 
western Mexico. It is said to be characterized by a 
southern submergence, which means that species existing 
in shallow waters to the north, occur at greater depths 
farther to the south (southern and Lower California), 
because of gradually rising surface temperatures. 
Furthermore, the endemic (native) element in the temperate 
fauna of the North American Pacific Ocean is believed 
to be developed to the extent that endemic species 
constitute at least half of all species in the various 
animal groups. These conclusions were reached from 
studies based largely on hard=-shelled mollusks, echinoderms, 
and fishes coming mainly from parts of central California 
and northward. Applications to southern California is 
therefore limited except to deeper waters, because the 
surface temperatures are much higher, In the basin 
systems of southern California there are perhaps barriers 
of unknown quantities and kinds, and in Santa Monica 
Bay there are additional variables resulting from possible 
effects of pollution, It is difficult, therefore, to 
find parallel studies, In the best studied groups of 
metazoan invertebrates (mollusks and echinoderms) there 
are many specific names, referrring to geographic locations 
of southern California, which suggests that these species 
are endemic to these places. 

Some comparisons were made with quantitative samples 


taken from shallow bottoms near Acapuico, Mexico (collected 


bt “mingo lta »paeetnuge eh al 


17 


February 1955 by Jens Knudsen), These showed the presence 
of some species identical with those in southern Calif- 
ornia. Many more were lacking from one or the other area, 
and still others, including the annelid genera, Aglaurides, 
Chaetacanthus and Hesione, were well represented in the 
south, but absent in southern California. Cerianthid 
anemones were abundant and large at Acapulco, but small 
or of another kind in Santa Monica Bay. 

Quantitative studies made in the Puget Sound area 
of Washington by Shelford and associates (1935) named 
many species occurring in shallow (to 105 feet) unpolluted 
level bottoms. The study was based largely on hard- 
shelled mollusks, many of which do not occur in Santa 
Monica Bay. A complex system of classification was 
described. Some species were called biome prevalents 
or predominants, others were slow moving influents. There 
were characteristic species and faciations, and intere- 
actions of coaction and reaction kinds. The Puget Sound 
area was described with broad expanses characterized 
by the dominance of one or a few kinds of species, with 
clear boundaries existing from one expanse to the next. 
One restricted area in East Sound, with bottoms in 60 
to 105 feet, was investigated with a small Petersen 
bottom sampler which took samples from a tenth of a 
Square meter. The sediments were then screened through 
a 0.20 mm mesh. From 14 such samples, 68 metazoan 


invertebrate animals were identified (Weese, In Shelford

pp. 316-318). Of these, 45 were various kinds of poly- 
chaetes, 20 were mollusks, and 3 were echinoderms. 

Allowing for changes in systematic nomenclature, about 

half of the polychaete species are the same as those in 
Santa Monica Bay, and the other half may be kinds limited 
to more northern or colder waters. The ratio of poly-= 
chaete numbers to total individuals counted, in various 
depths was given as follows: 5016:5276; 36:266(a clam 
bottom); 6:104 (a clam bottom); 2058:26833 84:205 (a 

snail bottom); 165921993; 129421368; 45:1454 (a holothurian 
bottom); 35:562 (a holothurian bottom); and 39:132 (an 
echinoderm bottom). From this analysis it will be seen 
that mollusks are limited to shallower, echinoderms to 
deeper bottoms, and polychaetes are prominent in all 
depths. Smaller crustaceans, which might have been present, 
were not noted. Ophiuroids were said to be most abundant 
in 90 feet. 

Benthonic studies in Japan in the northwestern 
Pacific (Miyadi and associates, 1940) in shallow (less 
than 60 feet) nonpolluted areas, emphasized the prepon- 
derance of certain groups of animals. Polychaetes and 
mollusks constituted the major parts, with echinoderms 
and smaller crustaceans next in numbers and all other 
kinds less than 3%. Two kinds of communities were reco- 
gnized, a Maldane (bambooworm) in the deeper muddy or 
sandy bottoms, and a Cerithium (snail) in shallower 


shelly bottoms, The Maldane was commonly associated

with an amphipod, Ampelisca, and both the worm and the 
snail communities were characterized by the presence of 
mollusk genera such as Tellina, Cylichna, Philine, Dentaliun, 
Nucula, Macoma, and polychaete genera such as Prionospio, 
_Magelona, Giycera, Terebellides, Sternaspis, Chaetozone, 
and Praxillella, all of which occur in nonpoliuted areas 
of southern California. 

Most of the species in the benthos of Santa Monica 
Bay are believed to be endemic; that is, they have restricted, 
not cosmopolitan, distributions. There are perhaps many 
which are nearly related to some from similar habitats 
in other temperate areas, and among the annelids these are 
Capitella capitata, Maidane sarsi, Chaetopterus vario- 
pedatus, Terebeilides stroemi, Sternaspis scutata, 
Scalibregma inflatum, and others, It is noteworthy 
that although these are not easily distinguished 
morphologically from their relatives in North Atiantic 
areas, they may, by detailed study, show physiological 
or other differences which may have more than varietal 
significance, For example, Chaetopterus variopedatus 
is best known for constructing a Ueshaped tube, largely 
or fully embedded in the substratum except for its distal 
ends, and it usually harbors commensals of several kinds 
(a small fish and polynoid). In southern California, 
however, it forms dense clusters or irregularly tangled 
tubes clumped together on the surface, and not embedded. 


It has never been found to harbor a commensal. In most

cases the specific names of these genera have been avoided, 

since a much more detailed study of the species is required. 
Among the ophiuriods only one, Amphipholis squamata, 

is regarded cosmopolitan. Among the amphipods there are 

perhaps 2 or 3 species, and among the mollusks there 


are believed to be very few. 
Patchiness 


The patterns of patchiness known in the San Pedro 
area (Hartman, 1955) occur also in Santa Monica Bay, 
but are less marked. A species may be abundant and 
conspicuous in one sample, and rare to absent in an 
adjacent one, but its recurrence can be expected in 
other more distant samples. These variations might be 
explained for slight changes in the character of sediments 
such as size of grain, varying amounts of organic content, 
differences in nutrient values of the overlying water 
columns, proximity to kinds of foods, incidental dispersal 
of larvae, or other indirect causes. Differences in rates 
and/or times of larvae and other settling stocks which 
are necessary to replenish the beds, might effectively 
alter the entire facies of a population. Many smaller 
species, abounding in shallow water, are known to grow 
rapidly and may reach maturity within a period of a few 
weeks or months. This is especially the case for many 
polychaetes which are numerically and productively high 


in Santa Monica Bay.

Aside from occasional samples which have been recovered 
from the bottom with pitch globules, there have been no 
indications of repellent bottoms such as have been des- 
cribed in British Seas (Wilson, 1953). Sediments of 
_nonpolluted areas have been classed as attractive, 
neutral, or repellent in their reactions to settling of 
larvae. According to this theory, attractive factors 
derived from organic activity, such as a coat of living 
microorganisms as bacteria, can be too abundant or too 
few for settling of some species. Bottoms with dead 
organisms and non-living organic matter can be actually 
repellent, 

Where compositions of sediments appear about the 
same (such as fine mud), the kinds, proportions, and 
densities of animal species may vary considerably in 
adjacent areas, Exception can be made to the more immediate 
areas of the outfails, where differences in kinds of 
associations are more accurately expressed in terms of 
distance (within 1 to 3 miles) from the end of the pipe 
and with kinds of sediments. 

Because of patchiness in shallower bottoms, it is 
difficult to repeat samples with like results, even 
though they presumably come from identical bottoms. 

It should be noted, however, that the associations of 
species, rather than individual kinds and amounts, share 
the common characteristics and can provide an index of 


productivity. Beyond these shallower depths the assemblages

of organisms vary with greater horizontal distance and 
reflect differences in kinds of sediments, amounts of 
light intensities, decreasing temperature ranges and 
perhaps other physical factors. 

Diversity resulting from cyclic (seasonal or diurnal) 
or from meteorological changes are believed to be insig- 
nificant in Santa Monica Bay, except in the shallowest 
parts where bottom temperature or salinities might differ 
from one season to another, or after prolonged rainfalls. 

One of the most striking phenomena of patchiness 
in areas of southern California has been observed in the 
accumulating evidence for unusual abundance of certain 
gregarious species occurring in one, or a few, restricted 
patches, perhaps not exceeding several square yards in’ 
extent, In Santa Monica Bay there are such beds as 
Schizocardium (enteropneust) with commensal pinnixid 
crabs at Zone II-6, Dentalium rectius (scaphopod) at 
V-2, Thalassema sp. (echiuroid worm) at V-6 and V-7, 
Pisione nr, remota (polychaete) at II-1, Glottidia 
albida (brachiopod) occurs in many shallow areas in 
Santa Monica Bay, but the individuals are usually small, 
presumably immature, and few in number in any one sample. 
Mature individuals have been found in unusual abundance 
at only one place (Station 3410-55) off Palisades on the 
outer side of Santa Catalina Island in 20 fathoms. 
Myxicola sp. (polychaete) is sparse in most parts of 


southern California, although it is to be found in shallower

areas where currents prevail, sometimes in Chaetopterus 
beds, or in rocky shaley pockets. However, off Santa 
Rosa Island (Station 3505-55) it occurs in a flourishing 
aggregate of large individuals that has not been found 

_ at any other locality. A conspicuous bed of Lacqueus 
californicus (brachiopod) is believed to be present along 
a rocky shelf off Empire Landing, on the leeward side 

of Santa Catalina Island, in less than 40 fathoms, Its 
occurrence in other areas is noted only as scattered 
email clusters or individuals, usually with one or a few 
valves of another brachiopod, Terebratalia transversa, 

in rocky outcrops of similar depths. It seems possible 
that these and other unique aggregations survive through 
periods of years, and that they have biological properties 
which encourage the settling of new stocks to insure 
existence through successive generations. At any rate, 
it must be assumed that there is no sparsity of larval 


or settiing stocks in other more distant areas. 
Systematic Classification of Faunail Units in Santa Monica Bay 


Any scheme of classification must ultimately be 
by systematic categories so that each species will have 
a binomial name which can be recognized by other scientists. 
Its place in the phylogenetic scale will then be established. 
In Santa Monica Bay, as well as most of southern California, 
this is a problem of the greatest magnitude because many 


of the animals (including some economically important ones)

are still unknown, 

Among the smaller crustaceans, which include about 
150 species and abound in most of the shallower bottoms, 
especially in the environs of outfalls or other polluted 
_areas, 90% of the amphipods, 80 to 90% of the cumaceans, 
and 80 to 90% of the ostracods are considered to be 
unknown (Personal cummunication, Dr, J. Laurens Barnard). 
These three crustacean, groups are not only highly differen- 
tiated, but may have indicator value, 

The worm-like animals, including the polychaetes, 
echiuroids, sipunculids, nemerteans, enteropneusts, 
phoronids and solenogasters, are ali well represented 
in Santa Monica Bay, but are among the least known of 
ali invertebrates. Thepolychaetes (segmented worms) 
are represented by no less than 350 species, most of which 
are poorly or not known, They occur at all depths and 
in moderate to great abundance, and are associated with 
sediments and other animals in predictable numbers and 
kinds, The echiuroids (spoon worms) are represented by 
5 to 10 species, all either unknown or recorded through 
only original descriptions, Sipunculids (peanut worms) 
and nemerteans (ribbon worms) are conspicuous and easily 
recognized when present, but their systematic categories 
remain to be determined, Enteropneusts (acorn worms) 
of large size have been found to occur in significant 
parts of Santa Monica Bay and at varying depths. According 


to the authority of specialists, they have not been studied

or named, Solenogasters (worm-like mollusks) have been 
found in a wide variety of bottoms and at different 
depths. They are currently being studied by specialists 
in Europe who have tentatively identified 10 to 20 
different kinds of Chaetoderma, a Limifossor and a 
neomeniid, all of which represent either new records or 
unknown kinds. 

Echinoderms (especially brittle stars, sea urchins, 
seastars and cucumbers) are rather well known (Personal 
communication, F, C, Ziesenhenne) and were found to be 
represented by 58 species, The brittle stars were found 
to be particularly characteristic in some parts of the 
bay (see Analyses below). 

Small mollusks (pelecypods and gastropods) are 
present in considerable numbers where the effects of 
pollution are low. Because of hard shelled parts they 
are eaSily collected, but their specific determinations 
are made with difficuity. Their systematic study is in 
progress and when completed these groups may show sig- 
nificant patterns of distribution and abundance. In the 
adjacent San Pedro area, the shelled hinds comprise about 
132 categories (Personal communication, Donald Wilson). 
In a recent study of mollusks from the offshore islands 
of southern California (Berry, 1956), 91 species were 
reported from 11 to 58 fathoms, dredged from muddy and 
algal bottoms. The number of individuals in single dredge 


hauls ran as high as 198 for Amphissa undata (small snail),

105 for Acila castrensis (small clam) and 98 for Mitrella 
carinata (snail). Another haul north of Anacapa Island 
had no less than 59 species. The other kinds of animals 
in these hauls were not named. 

Illustrated faunal handbooks and keys for ready 
identification of the invertebrate animals of southern 
California are greatly needed in attempting a study of 
many of these groups of animals. Many are stiil unknown 
or unrecorded. Until these needs are supplied, studies 
of other kinds will not only be discouraging, but im- 


possible, 
Ecological Classification of Faunal Units 


A systematic classification is an expression of 
genetic differences between the various faunal units 
and therefore expresses progressive degrees of develop- 
mental similarity or relationship. An ecological classi- 
fication, on the other hand, is an expression of degrees 
of social integration, of adaptational modifications and 
adjustments to environmental factors, This results in 
grouping organisms according to unrelated phenomena, 
such as the kinds of sediments they inhabit, the character 
of the food they eat, the levels of temperature or light 
tolerances, and other factors of external origin. 

Although ecological classification has no phylogenetic 
Significance, it is valuable to recognize groups or 


associations of animals, which may have indicator value,

but vary with time and place, with depth, and with 
geography. Once known, however, they predict not only 
their living environment, but the physical and nonbiological 
factors or changes with a higher degree of accuracy than 
can be done with mechanical instruments, In Santa Monica 
Bay these assemblages or associations of organisms have 
been found not only to differ appreciably with varying 
distances from the ends of the outfall, but to vary in 
kind, in organic productivity, and according to the 
sediments they occupy. These results are expressed more 
fully in the Analyses of samples from these faunal zones, 
A single association from shallow bottoms of Santa 
Monica Bay may be represented by a quantitative sample 
taken from a bottom area measuring two to four square 
feet, in a volume of sediments measuring from one to 
three cubic feet, Actually the samples have varied 
considerably from these dimensions, usually in the lesser 
directions, A sample may contain between 50 to 90 different 
kinds of metazoan invertebrate animals, numbering from 
500 to 1000 individuals, in various stages of growth 
to maturity. These assemblages exist in integrated though 
constantly changing patterns, and maintain inter- and 
intraspecific stabilities over periods of time that may 
exceed a year. Because they are believed to include 
largely species with short life histories (less than 
a year), there must be the constant replacement of popu- 


lations by young individuals, many of which pass through

swimming or planktonic stages in the upper columns of 
water. 

Any factor that might affect one of the units of 
such an association, such as diminished food supplies or 
other unfavorable physical or chemical conditions or 
disease, might effectively upset a balance which could 
bring about a change in the facies of the entire asso- 
ciation. Such changes have doubtless occurred in the 
past, and continue to occur in Santa Monica Bay. As 
evidence, there are not only the dead remains of former 
inhabitants, such as shell or tube fragments and bored 
rocks, but there exist unusual abundances of some kinds 
of animals which would not be normally expected unless 
there was an unbalance of feeding types. These abundance 
peaks are most prominent in Zone I (Limited Enriched 
Sector). It is noteworthy that areas of displaced popu- 
lations are perhaps constantly being restocked by animals 
of other kinds, Settling stocks as swimming or creeping 
larvae may be constantly available from outside sources, 
but only few kinds might be expected which can establish 
themseives. The replacement of worn out, starved, or 
overpolluted areas in Santa Monica Bay may be ecologically 
complex, It may differ with time of year and with depth 
and kind of bottom, The temperature, salinity, and pollu- 
tion tolerances of the invading animals, are other 
factors of importance,

depth of horizon at which they exist, from shallow 
(a few feet), to slope and deep (2940 feet) areas (see 
Zones I to VI for the major areas in Santa Monica Bay). 
They can also be classified according to biological 
requirements, such as varying amounts of dissolved 
oxygen, or lack of it (the near absence of life in sub- 
Sill parts of Santa Monica Basin may be the result of 
such a lack), These animais can be classified according 
to their feeding habits as predators or scavengers 
(living on dead animal food), carnivores (flesh-eaters), 
herbivores (plant feeders), detritus feeders (such as 
most animals near Hyperion), limnivores (ingesting mud 
with contained microorganisms), filter feeders (straining 
water containing nutrients), or as commensals or parasites 
(depending on other animals for their food). Aili of these 
are represented in Santa Monica Bay. In normal habitats, 
ali feeding groups can be expected to be represented in 
an association, In the environs of the outfall, however, 
most species are detritus feeders(polychaetes and Astro- 
pecten), Predators are occasional, entering the area as 
foragers (such as larger Cancer crabs, frog snail, and 
flounder fishes). 

Species vary according to tolerances to salinity 
so that near the outfall where large volumes of nonmarine 
water are introduced, most echinoderms, mollusks, many 
entomostracans and polychaetes are unable to exist. As 


the effects of these dilutions decrease, the number of

kinds invading the areas is gradually enlarged and 
approaches peak productivity. 

Ecologically these species vary according to the 
sediments they occupy; whether mud, silt, sand, gravel, 
rock, algae, or mixed bottoms. In the sediments they 
maintain over (pelagic), on (epifaunal), or in (infaunal) 
positions, The positions may differ according to stages 
of life history, for some have pelagic eggs and larvae, 
and at a certain age they sink to the bottom and creep 
about, seeking suitable sediments for settling. Once 
a suitable habitat is found, they metamorphose and grow 
to maturity in the sediments, Other animals may be errant 
or foraging as adults (crabs, Chloeia, many snails), 
or they may be attached to a substratum, as hydroids, 
barnacles, bryozoans, Many are tubicolous and construct 
characteristic tubes which require building materials of 
exact kind and size, according to kind or species, Others 
are nestling and occupy the burrows or tubes made by 
other kinds, or they may be somewhat buried (seawhip, 
Giottidia), or burrowing (many mollusks, worms, some 
urchins), Each kind has specific requirements which 
differ from those of others, and each species is uniquely 
modified to occupy its niche at maximum efficiency. 

In Santa Monica Bay only a few boring species have 
been identified, Such are some sipunculids, in dead 
tests of Dendraster, Zone II, and others in shaley rocks 


in outer parts of Zone I, A small clam (Saxicava) occurs

in calcareous rock and a boring sabellid in the outer 
areas of Zone I, A deep-water boring mollusk, Xylophaga, 
occurs in water-logged wood. Commensal species may be 
more frequent than current records indicate, Astropecten 
(the large sand seastar) harbors two polychaetes, and a 
small clam is frequently overrun with a creeping hydroid. 
Parasitic forms have been infrequent or perhaps overlooked. 
Such are parasitic crustaceans (copepod on Terebellides; 
rhizocephalan in Gnathia) and others, The presence of 
commensals or parasites with host species can be regarded 
as a normal or healthy condition , and when one of the 
association species is absent, it is usually the most 
dependent one (in such cases, the parasite). 

In Santa Monica Bay it has been found convenient 
to classify animal associations according to increasing 
distance from the ends of effluent pipes. Six such areas 
have been identified, varying with successive distance 
from an inner zone, at intervals of a haif, to several 
miles, The inner, or most shoreward zone, the Beach- 
Sand Fauna, is characteristic of much of the strand of 
Santa Monica Bay, and may be littie influenced by the 
effects of pollution. Only one sample, I W-1, was 
examined. It contained mainly sand worms, Nephtys 
californiensis, several snaiis, a sand crab, a prochordate, 
and numerous smaller sand-dwelling species. Ali of these 
species may be dug up along the sandy beach at low tide.

pipe, is regarded as a Limited-Pollution-Fauna. Most 
characteristic were two onuphids, Nothria elegans and 
Diopatra ornata, also Nephtys caecoides and Glycera 
americana, These are also intertidal forms and can 
withstand considerable exposure or dilution. Other samples 
in this zone (I SW-1), where sediments were coarse, had 
considerably more Diopatra and some other kinds, Their 
kinds and numbers increase gradually with greater distance 
from the pipe (Zone IW-3 to 6), and they come to attain 
excessive numbers and sizes farther away (Zone I W-6 to 
12) where the greatest numbers and largest sizes are 
found. Thus we may speak of peaks of productivity or 
maximum biomass in this zone. 

Biomass is an expression of the quantity of organic 
matters expressed in terms of unit areas. It varies with 
kinds of bottoms, and with depth so that the greatest 
volumes are usuaily in shallow depths. In Santa Monica 
Bay such peaks are related to amounts of nutrients supplied 
by the effluent. They have been observed in a variety 
of species (Figure 4), some of which are listed, and 
others are named in the Analyses. Such peaks of pro- 
ductivity have been observed persisting through different 
months of the year. Thus they are probably not seasonal 
or fluctuating or the resuits of large numbers of larval 
or juvenile individuais, but perhaps are directly pro- 
portional to increased nutrients and indirectly to variations 


in salinity from normal sea water. The estimated biomass

Bio-index is an expression of the ratio of number of 
species to that of individuals. It varies with kind of 
bottom and with depth. In shallow areas it is lowest 
in mixed bottoms where currents prevail (as at Whites 
Point), or in Santa Monica Bay in Zone II, It rises 
sharply with depth to Zone VI where the ratio approaches 
one. 

In Santa Monica Bay there is a marked decrease in 
numbers of species with increasing depth. They may drop 


from 60 or 90 species in a shallow sample from 60 feet,

to 3 or none in 2820 feet. Variations from a straight 
descending line graph may result partly from imperfect 
sample sizes, or they may reflect the presence of a few 
larger predaceous individuals or other patterns of 


patchiness, 
Indicator Species 


An indicator species is one which can provide 
precise information in geography, ecology and distribution, 
or one which can indicate characteristics of physical and 
chemical significance. Such species, to be of value, 
have certain requirements, They should be specifically 
identified, they should be endemic to an area, not 
cosmopolitan in range, and their horizontal and ecological 
limits should be known, They should be easily recognized 
so that their identity cannot be confused with nearly 
related ones, In some recognizable form of their life 
history they should occur in all seasons, or at least 
not fluctuate. For those undergoing changes in develop- 
ment, their stages should be known and recognizable. 

They should also occur in sufficient numbers to represent 
stable, not stray, populations (Sverdrup, Johnson, and 
Fleming, 1942). Their tolerances to varying amounts of 
salinities, to changes in temperature, to varying concen- 
trations of silt, to possible toxic substances, or 
degrees of acclimitization of these factors should be 


known, Thus, sedentary or attached species have greater 


7 oe oteaingooe ee oy 


38 


indicator value than foraging or roaming kinds. 

In Santa Monica Bay the use of indicator species 
seems especially practical because many occur as aggregates 
or in association, and have limited ecological dist- 
ributions. Some of these by location in zones and 


alphabetic by group are:

Results of Some Other Biological Observations 


A fish-kill in June 1956, resulting in the death of 
several hundred tons of fishes, along the shallow beaches 
of Santa Monica Bay was found to have been caused by the 
discharge of large volumes of scalding water by the 
Edison power plant, The fishes examined were surf- 
perches and measured 3 to 5 inches long. 

The use of current meter lines along outer parts of 
Zone I resulted in occasional catches of the large sand 
sea-star, Astropecten californicus, with commensal poly- 
chaetes, Arctono® and Podarke, both of which do not occur 
with their host in the more immediate environs of the 
effluent outfall. The fire-body, Pyrosoma atlanticum 
( a colonial tunicate), was occasionally snagged on lines 
during the summer months. 

Lobster traps baited with dead fish were set at 
varying distances from the outfall, with the following 
results. On one line extending 1.2 to 3 miles from the 
Hyperion stack, in depths of 10 to 25 1/2 fathoms, traps 
were dropped in the evening and pulled up in the morning. 
The stations were those of the VELERO IV numbered 4448-56 
to 4451-56.

Astropecten californicus 6 moderately large 
Cancer antennarius 3 large with attached Balanus 
male, 145X100 mm, 575 grams 
female, 135X90 mm 368 grams (no eggs) 
female, 135X90 mm, lacking chelae, 256 grams 
no eggs. 
Balanus tintinabulum californicus on carapaces 
of Cancer 
Station 4450-56 1.95 miles from Hyperion stack in 102 
feet of water, The trap contained: 
Cancer antennarius 8 large: 4 males and 4 


females, all with attached barnacles on the 


43 


exposed surfaces of the carapaces. The largest 
male, 175X115 mm, lacked two walking legs and 
weighed 827 grams. 
Station 4451-56 3 miles from Hyperion stack in 153 
feet of water, The trap contained: 
Cancer antennarius 6; the largest a male, 
168X110 mm, weighed 857 grams. 
Astropecten californicus 7 
Balanus tintinabulum californicus, on carapaces 


of Cancer crabs. 


From these results it appears that not only crabs 
and snails forage in search of food, but that Astropecten 


has similar habits. 
Comparative Food Vaiues of the Benthonic Animals 


The wide-spread use of bait-worms in various parts 
of the world indicates the preference of many fishes for 
this kind of food. Commonly used are several kinds of 
Glycera, Marphysa, nereids, nephtyids, opheliids, Arenicola, 
and others. (The frequently used terms blood, sand or 
proboscis worms, refer to color, habitat or some part 
of the animal. The names differ with locality and have 
no specific meaning.) Soft-shelied clams and sand shrimps 
are also used for bait. These animals are the most natural 
foods of animals in the sea. Some animals which occur 
in great numbers, such as sea-stars and brittle-stars, 


have little if any food value, whereas urchins may be

sought for by some foraging animals, Pelagic larvae of 
many benthonic animals are a chief source of food, 

It is generally agreed (Blegvad, 1951) that many 
animals select their food and that they seldom change 
diets. Benthonic animals can be regarded as the chief 
source of food for predators and carnivores. Fluctuations 
in their kinds and numbers can thus provide and index 
of productivity of animals in higher categories, Ina 
series of studies on the food of bottom-feeding fishes 
of Danish waters, Blegvad regarded most pelecypods and 
smaller crustaceans and nearly all polychaetes as first 
class plaice food. The amounts by weight and frequency 
in stomach contents of fishes, gave worms the highest 
ratings, varying from 50 to 90% Pelecypods and crusta- 
ceans comprised most of the rest. Later Blegvad summarized 
the results of studies of nearly 25 years and showed that 
only slight variations in kinds of foods occurred with 
time and place. It was found that the amounts of com- 
mercial fishes caught were directly related to the amounts 
of bottom animals present. These experiments may be 
directly applicable to the animals existing in Santa 


Monica Bay. 
Size of the Largest Animal Species Taken 


Most invertebrate metazoan animals in Santa Monica 
Bay are small to minute, often measuring less than one to 


two inches long. A few individuals, from scattered places, 


Av, 


45 


have been conspicuous for their size or weight. They 
include: 


Cancer antennarius Station 4450-56 827 grams 


Astropecten californicus at I SW-4, 3 1/2 inches across 


Pisaster giganteus at I NW-6, weighed 187 1/2 grams 


Stichopus californicus at I W-20, measured 5 inches 
Compsomyax subdiaphana a clam, at III-7, measured 
2 1/2 by 1 3/4 inches and weighed 24 grams. 
Macoma a clam, at II-6, weighed 31.7 grams 
?Drupa a snail, at I NW-6, weighed 75 1/3 grams 
Glycera robusta at I W-10b, the only one of this 


kind taken,

SUMMARY.- This sample has, a mixed fauna, taken from rocky areas and 


soft bottoms; Pyrosoma is usually pelagic. 


I W-15. Sta. 3195-55. In 200 feet. OPG took only a small sample 
of sandstone, shale, boulders and shelly rubble. The screenings con- 
sisted of some ophiuroids, annelids and other smaller animals. The 
fauna is that of a rocky association. 


I W-l5a. Sta. 4523-56. In 240 feet. OPG took about 4 liters of 
Shaley coarse rock and sand. The screenings consisted of about 3 1/2 
liters of rocks penetrated by borers, with attached or encrusting 
serpulids, bryozoans and other animals, 4 sea whip, perhaps Stylatula 
and others. y 

The shaley rocks were penetrated by burrows harboring Saxicava 
arctica. In holes or on dark sides of the rocks are attached ser- 
pulids of Vermiliopsis with 2 kinds of species, spirorbids of more 
than two kinds. The rocks have projecting tubes of polychaetes, in- 
cluding Phyllochaetopterus and Hypsicomus. 

The rocky crevices or niches harbor small chitons, Lacqueus juv- 
eniles, bryogZoans and a very flat tunicate. A small scale-worm, 
Peisidice aspera, occurs in narrow runways.

SUMMARY.= None of the animals is conspicuously large or abundant. 
The fauna has the appearance of a replaced one, with individual 
numbers sparse and perhaps at the fringe of their distributions. 
The estimated volume of organic matter is 90 ml. 


Summary of Zone I, western sector, numbers W=1 to 22. 

The sample from W-1 is from a shifting beach sand characterized 
by sand worms, Nephtys californiensis, a sand crab, Lepidopa myops, 
and diversified smaller kinds. The Timi todePallatdoastanneianees 
presented by W=2, characterized by Nephtys caecoides, Nothria elegans 
and other kinds of smaller polychaetes. Species are limited in 
number and size. Echinoderms, mollusks and smaller crustaceans are 
either sparse or absent. A Pollution-Tolerant-Fauna is represented 
by samples from W-3 to 5, and characterized by increasing numbers 
and kinds of species and larger sizes of individuals; present are 
Glycera americana, Marphysa nr. conferta, Nereis procera, and other 
kinds of polychaetes, in addition to some smaller mollusks, and increas- 
ing number of smaller crustaceans and some ophiuroids, or also smaller 
individuals of Astropecten. 

The Limited=Enriched=Fauna, represented by samples from W-6 to 12, 
is considered limited for lacking some species known to occur in similar 
areas that are not polluted. It is enriched for having unusually high 
numbers of individuals (peaks of biomass). Thus, in one sample (W-7) 
ophiuroids are represented by 3 species with 188 individuals, mollusks 
by 23 species and 125 individuals, crustaceans by 19 species and 
about 150 individuals, polychaetes by 46 species and more than 200 
individuals, or in all 7 major groups with 95 species and 760 individuals. 

The Unlimited=Diminished Fauna, represented by samples from W-13 
to 19, has increasing numbers of kinds, but diminishing peaks (or none) 
of biomass. This area is further characterized by having bottoms that 
are largely gravelly, rocky or rubbly. The current fauna has the 
appearance of a replaced one, with vestiges of a former one, re- 
presented by bleached fragments of hydrocorals, brachiopods, larger 
mollusks and other larger epifaunal kinds of animals. The species now 
present are largely those in the sediments or capable of moving about. 


I SW-1 Sta. 2992-55. In 60 feet. OPG took 0.5 cuft of hard packed 
sandy mud. The screenings consisted almost entirely of polychaetes.

SUMMARY.= The sample has characteristics of an undiminished fauna for 
having representatives not present near effluent areas. 


TII-5. Sta. 3210-55. In 170 feet. OPG took 0.97 cuft of fine medium 
green silty sand. The screenings consisted of about a pint, largely 
animals, of which about half was various kinds of ophiuroids, not quite 
as much was other kinds of invertebrates, and the inert debris had many 
arenaceous foraminiferan remains, especially Rhabdamina and others. 
Echinoderms include many smaller ophiuroids and a tiny asteroid. 
Crustaceans include: 

larger amphipods, perhaps Ampelisca - 17 

many smaller amphipods 

ostracods, largely brown, some rectangular white - many 

cumaceans = 9 or more

a larger Travisia, and many other kinds. 

SUMMARY.- The sample is characterized by many different kinds of animals. 


III-6. Sta. 3206-55. In 201 feet. OPG took 0.05 cuft of fine green 
silty sand. The screenings consisted of many kinds of smaller animals 
totalling about 11/2 pints of which ophiuroids and other echinoderms 
measured about half of the total. There were a few red waxy lumbs, so 
light in weight as to float in water. 

Echinoderms include? 

many smooth disked, smaller ophiuroids, totalling about 2/3 pint 

small purple holothuroids - 6 

sea urchin = 1 small, measuring about 21 mm across the disk 

a small sea star 
Crustaceans include:

amphipods = about 124, with 23 larger red, and 101 smaller pale kinds 

cumaceans, including at least 4 species and totalling about 36 

ostracods, including at least 3 species and numbering more than 70 

isopods, including 2 anthurid, 8 Gnathia (some of which may be para- 

sitized by a rhizocephalan), and 6 tanaids of which one is an 
adult male and one female carries ova.

SUMMARY of V-1 to 37. Redondo Canyon supports a unique fauna, 
characterized by many species which are sparse or absent in other 
parts of Santa Monica Bay. Most of its bottoms are soft or muddy. 

In its moderate depths it supports a Thalassema association, which is 
replaced in its. deeper parts by an ampharetid, and finally by a 


Phyllochaetopterus association.

Polychaetes include: 
Ancistrosyllis - 2 
Aricidea 
Lumbrineris fragment 
Paraonis 

SUMMARY.- This sample came from the sill between San Pedro and Santa 
Monica basins. Its diversified fauna may be the result of greater 
water exchange than in other parts of this zone. 


VI-4. Sta. 2794-54. In 2672 feet. OPG took 3.4 cuft of blue gray 
mud. The screenings consisted of foraminiferan tests, some siliceous 
Sponge and fragments of tubes (Phyllochaetopterus and protulid). 


VI-5. Sta. 2729-54. In 2721 feet. OPG took 5.4 cuft of fine 
green sticky mud. The screenings consisted of about a pint of 
foraminiferan shells, some siliceous sponge spicules and a few metazoan 
animals. 

A calanoid copepod 
A small gastropod, perhaps Mitrella 
A small sipunculid 
Polychaetes include? 
Amage, nr. anops - 1 larger and 6 smaller, in thick mud tubes 


Glycera branchiopoda 
Phyllochaetopterus, deep-water species - at least 9 and many tubes 
piophanes 


VI-6. Sta. 3020-55. In 2670 feet. The Campbell grab took 4.45 
cuft of green mud. The screenings consisted of many foraminiferan 
tests, empty tubes of Phyllochaetopterus, protulid tubes, broken valves 
of Cyclopecten, and a single large ampharetid, Amage, nr. anops, in 
a thick mud tube. 


VI-7. Sta. 2965-54. In 2820 feet. The Campbell grab took 3.3 
cuft of fine mud. The sediments had no living metazoan animals. 


VI-8. Sta. 2970-54. In 2856 feet. The Campbell grab took 35.59 
cuft of gray green mud. There were no living metazoan animals. 


VI-9. Sta. 2971-54. In 2910 feet. The Campbell grab took only 
plankton with ctenophores; it failed to take a bottom sample. 


VIelO. Sta. 3411-55. In 2922 feet. OPG came up with a full 
(mot measured) sample of fine mud. The screenings consisted of many 
dead (though not black) sticks of wood, foraminiferan and radiolarian

tests, broken shells of Cyclopecten and empty tubes of Phyllochaetopterus 
and Protis. There were no living metazoan animals. 


V-1ll. Sta. 3410-55. In 2928 feet. OPG was filled with fine 
dark mud and smaller nodules of reddish brown waxy masses which floated 
in water. The screenings consisted of dead and blackened tubes of 


Phyllochaetopterus, Protis, and broken, dead shells of Cyclopecten. 


There were no living metazoan animals. 


VEel2. Sta. 3412-55. In 2928 feet. OPG was filled with fine mud. 
There were no living metazoan animals. 


VF13. Sta. 2963-54. In 2993 feet. The Campbell grab took 5.74 
cuft of fine mud. The screenings consisted of many small dead sticks 


of wood, dead tubes of Phyllochaetopterus, serpulid, and Cyclopecten 


shells. There were no living metazoan animals. 


VE14. Sta. 2964-54. In 2993 feet. The Campbell grab took 5.74 
cuft of fine mud. There were no living metazoan animals. 


SUMMARY OF VI-l to 14.- The stations in Zone VI represent a large, 
subsill area in soft, muddy bottoms of Santa Monica Bay. There are 
only two or three species (Phyllochaetopterus, Protis, and Cyclopecten), 
in sparse numbers, in scattered areas. Two samples (VI-5 and V1-4) 
near the lower end of Redondo Canyon, have metazoan animals of more 
diversified kinds. Faunistically considered, the subsill area of 
Santa Monica Bay is a continuation of the impoverished or dead area 
present in San Pedro Basin.
