Identification of Annelida Polychaeta from northern European and adjacent Arctic waters

Abstract

166 papers necessary for the identification of polychaetous annelids from the North Sea and Scandinavian, Icelandic and the adjacent Arctic waters are listed. References are given for each of the 71 families that are known from European waters, and for each family brief comments are given regarding the approximate number of species present in the area, special problems with identification, and whether the taxa can be identified by means of the current literature.
