Resumen

Los poliquetos endobentónicos consumidores de depósito pertenecientes al complejo de especies de Capitella capitata tienen una fuerte relación con sedimentos enriquecidos orgánicamente (SEO). En condiciones de laboratorio, se analizó el efecto de sedimentos no enriquecidos orgánicamente (SNEO, 0,09% de materia orgánica) y SEO (6,26% de materia orgánica) en la mortalidad, crecimiento y desarrollo de juveniles y adultos de Capitella teleta (cultivada por más de 40 años) y Capitella sp. de la bahía dels Alfacs, Tarragona, España (aclimatada durante un mes). Juveniles y adultos fueron expuestos a los dos tratamientos (todos los individuos separados en cajas individuales) y fueron observados y medidos periódicamente hasta la muerte. SNEO produjo un deterioro considerable en la supervivencia, tasas de crecimiento y desarrollo de juveniles y adultos de ambas especies, los cuales mostraron tasas de crecimiento negativas muy variables en SEO. Los juveniles y adultos de C. teleta en SEO mostraron una madurez mejorada, incluso produciendo dos individuos protándricos y un proterogino, mientras que ningún individuo de Capitella sp. alcanzó la madurez durante el experimento.
