Growth and bioenergetic features of the polychaete populations from chaun bay of the East Siberian Sea

The features of the growth of populations of polychaetes such as Lanassa venusta venusta, Chaetozone setosa, Scoloplos armiger, and Aricidea nolani from the deepest area of Chaun Bay were examined on the basis of the seasonal dynamics of their size-age structure. The relations between the linear size and weight of polychaetes were obtained. The bioenergetic characteristics of the populations were calculated. It turned out that the highest energy parameters are peculiar to the populations of Chaetozone setosa and Scoloplos armiger, i.e., to the species with universal distribution.
