Doto fragilis? in Newfoundland

March 23, 2003
From: Paulette Penton

Hello Everyone,
I am a frequent visitor to this site but this is my first message. I was hoping that someone could give me a hand with naming a few of these species that I had collected for my honours. The pictures are horrible because they were taken with a kids intel play microscope. This species, which I have named a Doto was found at my sampling area in Bonne Bay, located in Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland, Canada. It was found in July 2002 at 46' with Obelia on a rocky bottom with big boulders and a wall covered with coralline algae. The two individuals found were 2mm and 3mm.

Dear Paulette,
As you will see from earlier discussions on this page this species has some similarities to the European species Doto fragilis but until the anatomy and biology of this Nth American species is studied and compared with European species there ii no way to be sure they are the same species
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
