L. campechanus larvae thrive in lower salinities (30 psu); as they grow, they gradually move to more saline environments.
Tolley et al. (2006)
Upper stations (~20 ppt) and stations near high-flow tributaries (6-12 m3 s-1) were typified by decapod Eurypanopeus depressus & gobiid fishes. Downstream stations (~30 ppt) and stations near low-flow tributaries (0.2-2 m3 s-1) were typified by decapods E. depressus and Petrolisthes armatus. Community structure present at upper stations distinct from downstream; high-flow tributaries distinct from near low-flow tributaries.
Knip et al. (2011)
During the wet season, C. amboinensis will alter their home range areas in an attempt to avoid freshwater inflow (decreased salinity). Juveniles were used in this study.
Pattillo et al. (1992)
Adults and juveniles are abundant in regions of 0.5 - >25.0 ppt.
Galveston Bay National Estuary Program (1992)
H. florida (other names including Hypaniola gunneri floridus and Amhicteis gunneri) are indicators of recent flooding events in the area. They are known to thrive in lower salinities than most polychaete worms, <5 ppt.
