Abstract: The ragwormNereis virensis of considerable commercial importance. It is widely used by anglers for bait, and in toxicity assays. Demand outstrips natural supply, largely because the creatures’ breeding is highly seasonal. The successful cryopreservation of ragworm larva means, however, that Nereiscan now be stored and reared to adulthood any time of the year.
