title: REPETITIVE CYCLES OF BIOLUMINESCENCE AND SPAWNING IN THE POLYCHAETE, ODONTOSYLLIS PHOSPHOREA.
abstract: Spawning by large numbers of the marine polychaete, Odontosyllis phosphorea, occurred at fortnightly intervals. The animals appeared at the surface of the water shortly after sunset and luminesced and spawned for approximately 30 minutes. The spawning was correlated with the monthly lunar and tidal cycles and lasted from June through October.
