Bolsa Chica Lowlands Restoration Monitoring2007 Annual ReportInvertebrate MacrofaunaAll macroinvertebrates captured during fish sampling werecollected, identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible,and counted. Arthropod, Chordate, Echinoderm, andMollusk taxa were collected (Table 1-4). Mollusks were themost abundant, with California bubble snail (Bullagouldiana), speckled scallop (Argopecten aequisulcatus),and California horn snail (Cerithidea californica) thedominant species. Navanax (Navanax inermis) werecommonly captured and seen throughout the FTB.Although not captured in large numbers, California sea hare(Aplysia californica) were observed in very high numbers inthe months immediately following the opening of the FTBto the ocean, continuing through the first year. Arthropodswere represented by green shore crab (HemigrapsusNavanax and scallops captured in the otter trawl alongwith turbot.oregonensis), three Xantus’ swimming crabs (Portunus xantusii), and the brown shrimp (Penaeuscalifornicus). Also captured were various ascidians, as well as a single white sea urchin (Lytechinusanamesus).It is important to note the presence of Musculista senhousia in both the FTB and Muted Pocket Marsh,a highly invasive non-native mussel present in many California bays and estuaries.Table 1-4.
