The polychaeta Neanthes succinea is a cosmopolite nereid usually found in estuaries and coastal marine regions of South América. A strong epitokal metamorphosis event, never registered in the estuarine region of Patos Lagoon, occurred in the winter of 2006. This event occurred associated to the highest temperature (> 16oC) and salinity (forthnightly mean > 8) values of the last ten years for this season. Reproductive events previously recorded for this species on this estuarine region have happened during summer time.Downloads
