【摘要】 本文报导在福建沿海调查并在厦门港试验的结果,共包括鑽孔动物19种,其中软体动物16种（船蛆;密节（?）船蛆、马特海筍等）甲壳动物3种（团水（卂虫虫）;蛀木水（卂虫虫）等）。 船蛆（Teredo navalis）危害性最大,团水（卂虫虫）（Sphaeronta retrolaevis）严重危害河口半鹼淡水中的木质建筑物。蛀木水（卂虫虫）（Limnorta lignorum）专门破坏沿岸潮间带中低潮区的木质建筑物。密节（?）船蛆（Bankia saulii）的危害也很严重。 厦门港船蛆的繁殖季节是3-12月（水温16.2°-28.2℃）,5-9月为繁殖盛季（21.8°-28.2℃）。数量变动与繁殖季节是一致的:夏秋两季最多,春季次之,冬季几近绝跡。 蛀木水（卂虫虫）分布在高鹽水域（S₁>25‰）的潮间区,团水（卂虫虫）生活在半鹼淡水的河口水域（S,0.75-24.3‰）,船蛆的适应范围最广,从河口（S,2.6‰以上）至浅海区都有分布;自表层至底层逐渐增多。更多还原

【Abstract】 The present investigation was carried out with the object of making a preliminary study on the marine borers off Fukien coast. The number of boring animals identified is nineteen, of which sixteen are molluscs(including Teredo navalis, Bankia saulii, Barnea fragilis, Martesia striata)and three are crustaceans(Sphaeroma retrolaevis. Exosphaeroma oregonensis, Limnoria lignorun).Teredo navalis is widely distributed throughout the world and is capable of causing great damage to various underwater constructions, especially ships and wharfs. Sphaeroma retrolaevis occurs abundantly in the brackish-waters, whilst Limnoria lignorum inhibits mainly intertidal zone. They can both destory the wooden constructions there. Bankia sauli is also one of important marine borers.The breeding season of Teredo navalis in Amoy harbor lasts from March to December (water temperature 16.2-28.2℃). Its main breeding period extends from May to September (21.8-28.2℃). It stops breeding in Jan. -Feb. (15℃). There exists a close correspondence between the breeding period and numerical variation, being most plentiful in summer and least in winter.The power of acclimatization to salinity varies with different species. This accounts for the difference in their geographical distribution. For instance, Limnoria lignorum and Martesia striata are distributed only in high salinity water(25‰)and Sphaeroma retrolaevis in brackish-water(0.75-24.3‰). Teredo navalis is most curyhaline, being distributed in various regions with salinity ranging from 2.6‰ onwards.The vertical distribution of above-mentioned species is by no means the same: Teredo navalis inhibits the shallow sea and increases with increasing depth, whilst Limnoria lignorum and Sphaeroma retrolaevis inhibit intertidal zone. The distribution of Pholadidae is mainly confined to the low tidal zone and its vicinity.更多还原
