SUMMARY:

Serpulidae is a family of filter-feeding, tubiculous, fouling and globally distributed
polychaetes. They are animals with a very conspicuous morphology, usually composed
of an operculum, a radiolar crown, thorax and abdomen. These animals are commonly
translocated through vessels or floating debris. They can be found in port regions,as
well as in places with a diversity of natural (e.g. rocks, mollusc shells) and artificial
(e.g. pier, ship's hulls) substrates available for settle. The knowledge about the
Serpulidae species within Sepetiba Bay is still scarce, aiming to expand this knowledge
active collections were made in 15 places within the bay. Through morphological and
systematic techniques it was possible to comprehend the local diversity, as well as the
forthcoming of exotic species. As a result of this work seven species belonging to four
genera were identified, one being native and the other six exotic. With this survey it was
possible to report three new records for Sepetiba Bay (Salmacina ceciliae, H.dianthus
and P. balboensis) and to confirm the presence of Spirobranchus tetraceros for the state
of Rio de Janeiro. Updating the list of serpulid species occurring on Sepetiba Bay, Rio
de Janeiro and Brazil, even as the list of exotic species of polychaete present on the
Brazilian coast. Nevertheless, we recommend increase the effort in evaluating the
invasive potential and monitoring the Brazilian marine environment, mainly on port
regions.
