An Atlantic infaunal engineer is established in the Northeast Pacific: Clymenella torquata (Polychaeta: Maldanidae) on the British Columbia and Washington Coasts
The Northwest Atlantic bamboo worm Clymenella torquata, believed to have been imported with commercial oyster culture, was last formally reported from the American Pacific coast more than
30 years ago from a single location. We report here that it is broadly distributed in British Columbia and is now established in Washington. In Samish Bay,
Washington, this tubiculous infaunal worm creates a spongy, porous substrate that has proved detrimental to commercial oyster farms by causing the oysters to
sink into the sediment and suffocate. Little is known about the ecological or economic impacts of this invasion in the Pacific Northwest.
