Spread Rate:

Newer records does not reflect recent expansion of the species, but rather simply a lack of prior reporting (James Carlton, personal communication, 2013, cited in NEMESIS 2016) Expanded its southern limit of distribution in the southwest Atlantic by 7° of latitude (Lopez Gappa 2000, cited in Rico and Gappa 2006) Newly found for first time in Yellow Sea, materials collected in 1999 (Seo and Min 2009)

Date First Observed in Japan:

Unknown but have been observed as early as 1966 (Long and Rucker 1969) Fossil records from late Pliocene (Hayami 1975) The distribution of C. p. is unknown because of the earlier confusion with C. okadai (now synonymy of C. zavjalovensis (see Grischenko et al. 2007)). (Mawatari 1992)

Impacts

Impact in Japan:

NF

Global Impact:

[Australia] Water abstraction or nuisance fouling; outcompetes native species for resources and/or space (Gordon 2015) C. p. is a common species in ship and dock fouling communities (Ryland 1965, Zvyagintsev 1985, cited in NEMESIS 2016); however, there are no economic and ecological impacts reported for this bryozoan. (NEMESIS 2016) C. p. is not reported in the literature as a strong competitor, so its impact is unlikely to be substantial. (Keough & Ross 1999)

Development Mode:

Lecithotrophic planktonic larva (non-feeding)

Asexual Reproduction:

Budding/fragmentation (Splitting into unequal parts. Buds may form on the body of the “parent”)

Reproduction Details:

Sexual and asexual reproduction; colonies consist of replicated series of zooids, each budded asexually from a predecessor. Founding zooid metamorphoses from the sexually produced larva. Hermaphroditic (Gordon 2015; Amui-Vedel et al 2007) Hermaphrodite; Asexual reproduction: Budding (Lee II and Reusser 2012) Early development: live birth w/ nutritional supply; Juvenile development dispersal: larval phase is planktonic larvae (Lee II and Reusser 2012) Ovicells absent (small avicularium is sometimes present proximal to the aperture) (Kozloff 1996; Carlton 2007; Abdel-Salam and Ramadan 2008) Brooded in body cavity (Carlton 2007) Internal brood sac (Hincks 1861, cited in Ostrovsky 2013; Eggleston 1972) Lecithotrophic larvae (Ostrovsky 2013) RELATED: [Gymnolaemates] Internal fertilization, whether intracoelomic or intraovarian, is obligatory (Temkin 1994 and 1996, cited in Ostrovsky 2013) [Gymnolaemates] Differ from most organisms in that sperm-egg fusion does not stimulate egg activation. Egg activation may not occur until "spawned" outside of maternal zooid (Temkin 1991) [Bryozoans] While sperm is spawned through pores in lophophore tentacles, eggs are usually harbored inside the body wall, and are internally fertilized by sperm, coming in on lophophore feeding currents (Brusca and Brusca 2003, cited in Rouse 2011; Kozloff 1990, cited in Rouse 2011) [Bryozoans] Colonial hermaphrodites, with testes (spermatogenic tissue) and ovaries developing either within the same zooid (zooidal hermaphroditism) or in different zooids within the same colony (zooidal gonochorism) (Ostrovsky 2013) [Bryozoans] Members of the phylum Bryozoa are hermaphroditic. Both fertilization and egg brooding may either be internal or external (Ruppert et al. 2004) [Bryozoans] The first zooid in a colony is called the ancestrula. It is from this individual that the rest of the colony will grow asexually from the budding (Hill 2001) [Bryozoa] All bryozoan colonies are hermaphroditic. Autozooids may be dioecious; or monoecious, and protandrous or protogynous. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) [Bryozoa] Reproduces asexually by budding. (Mawatari 1976)

Adult Mobility:

Sessile

Adult Mobility Details:

Colonial on hard substratum epifauna (Gordon 2015; NEMESIS 2016) RELATED: [Bryozoa] The abundance and taxonomic diversity of benthic bryozoan faunas are directly related to substratum. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) [Bryozoa] Bryozoans are a phylum of sessile, colonial suspension feeders found throughout the world in both marine and freshwater environments. (Tilbrook 2012)

Maturity Size:

Colony: 20cm wide (Harbo 2011) Colonies are 600 to 1000μm x 350-500μm in size (NEMESIS 2016) Zooids measure on average 0.8mm in length and 0.44mm in width (NIMPIS 2016) Zooids moderately large; 0.65x0.35-0.45mm (Osburn 1952a) Colony size up to 3cm in diameter. Zooids are 0.43-0.65mm long and 0.26-0.45mm wide (Abdel-Salam and Ramadan 2008)

Maturity Age:

Completion of metamorphosis (formation of a functional juvenile lophophore) took approximately 4 days for Cryptosula pallasiana (Kosman and Pernet 2011)

Reproduction Lifespan:

Embryos most abundant during the summer at British coast. (Heyward & Ryland 1999) Settlement recorded My to December in western Norway, with peak July and September. (Ryland 1963, cited in Hayward & Ryland 1999) Settlement in Britain continues through October. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) Settlement occurs in spring, summer and autumn in Port Phillip Bay. (Keough & Ross 1999) Settlement is heaviest during spring and autumn months at Lyttelton, New Zealand. (Skerman 1958, cited in Gordon & Mawatari 1992)

Longevity:

Polypides survive for 2-10 (15-72 days) weeks in aquarium conditions; duration of regression takes place over 6-17 days (Gordon 2013; Gordon 1973, cited in Gordon 2013) Dead zooid within a colony may be regenerated as a whole new zooid by one or more neighbouring zooids (Jebram 1977) Considered a perennial species, long-lived species at least 2-3 years (Eggleston 1972; Kuklinski and Taylor 2006)

Broods per Year:

In an experiment, 19 larvae were collected from one colony of Cryptosula pallasiana (Kosman and Pernet 2011)

Reproduction Cues:

RELATED: [Bryozoans] Experiments often used light as a cue to collect embryos/larvae (Woollacott and Zimmer 1977) [Bryozoa] In coastal species light is an important stimulus to larval release, and many cheilostomates shed larvae during the first few hours of daylight. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) [Bryozoa] In various degrees of intensity according to the species temperature also stimulates sexual reproduction. (Winston 1977)

Reproduction Time:

[Alaska, US] October, November and December samples were found with embryos, but may be due to tide levels and greater species diversity at lower intertidal ranges (Dick and Ross 1985) [California, US] Avery Point: recruitment levels of at least 50 individuals per 100cm2 per week at some point between June and October; Similarly in summer 2002 (Altman and Whitlatch 2007) July is period of active growth for C. pallasiana (Amui-Vedel et al 2007) Larval release can occur from May to December in Europe (Ryland 1965, cited in Gordon 1973) [US] Larvae reported in August and September; also found in June and July (Barrois 1877, cited in Rogick and Croasdale 1949) Embryos most abundant during the summer at British coast. (Heyward & Ryland 1999) Settlement recorded My to December in western Norway, with peak July and September.

Habitat Details:

VARIABILITY: Substratum preferences may not be constant throughout the entire range of the species; around British coasts it is commonest species on stones but occur rarely on algae, yet in some Norwegian fjords, it encrusts littoral fucoids and is not be found on stones (Ryland 1962b; Gordon 1967) Unconsolidated ecosystem: Sub-aquatic vegetation; Consolidated ecosystem: Rocky intertidal, subtidal rocky, oyster/mussel reef, fouling, kelp forest (Lee II and Reusser 2012) Consolidated substrate: rock, biogenic (oyster, kelp, and rooted aquatic), artificial substrate (pilings, hull/ballast, and others) (Lee II and Reusser 2012) Epibenthic, Epiphytic and epizoic (Lee II and Reusser 2012) [Canada] Species found on rocks and algae (Gordon 1973; Gordon 1974) [Alaska, US] Found in intertidal rock-pile habitat in Narrow Strait (Dick and Ross 1985) [California, US] Collected from floating docks in Long Beach (Kosman and Pernet 2011) [Mass, US] Collected on green algae species: Enteromorpha intestinalis, Ulva Lactuca var. rigida; on brown algae species: Ascophyllum mackaii, Ascophyllum modosum, F. svesiculosus spiralis and Laminaria agardhii; encrusts on rocks shells and algae; more commonly and forms larger colonies on the harder substrates than on algae (Rogick and Croasdale 1949) [Korea] Found on stones and shells (Seo 1992; Seo and Min 2009) [Australia] Found at sheltered site at Port Phillip Bay(Keough 1998) [New Zealand] Found on stones and boulders, shells and/ or barnacle plates, wharf piles and ascidian tests (Gordon 1967) [Portugal] Floating pontoons and wooden piles, ports (Marchini et al 2007) [Italy] Occurs on mussels, barnacles, aquatic macrophytes and rotten wood; dominant in marine parts of channels in the Northern Venice Lagoon (Ambrogi and d'Hondt 1981) Well known fouling species; Collected on boats, pontoons, oysters and cement aggregate tiles (Brock 1985) Attached to rocks, shells, floats and pilings, seaweeds, seagrasses and tunicates in the intertidal and shallow subtidal (Harbo 2011) On eelgrass blades, rocks, oysters, pilings, ships' hulls, and other hard substrates (NEMESIS 2016) Substrate: bedrock, concrete, oysters, reef, wood (NIMPIS 2016) Found encrusting on any surface that will provide attachment, including ships' hulls; widespread particularly in ports, harbours, and estuarine situations (Ryland 1965 and Gordon & Mawatari 1992, cited in Abdel-Salam and Ramadan 2008) Greater on sandstone surfaces, less on concrete and least on wooden surfaces. More on horizontal undersides and less on vertical panels; in harbours where it is sheltered and residential area (Glasby 2000; Glasby and Connell 2001) Found on panels on rocky reefs more than on panels on pontoons at all sites (Glasby and Connell 2001) Abundant on stones and shells, rock overhangs, and wooden pile (Ryland 1962a; Ryland 1962b) Relatively common in the sounds and estuaries (Maturo 1958) Boat's hull; piece of clothing; Encrusting on anything that will afford attachment (Seo and Min 2009; Osburn 1952a) Substratum preferences may not be constant throughout the entire range of the species; around British coasts it is commonest species on stones but occur rarely on algae, yet in some Norwegian fjords, it encrusts littoral fucoids and is not found on stones (Ryland 1962b; Gordon 1967) C. p. is found on stones, shells and other hard substrata as well as kelp holdfast and Himanthalia buttons in British coast. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) C. p. is found on rock, shell, ascidians, glass, pilings, and painted and ferro-cement hulls of pleasure craft and fishing boat. (Gordon & Mawatari 1992) C. p. occurs away from piers and other artificial structures. It is found commonly in the very low intertidal zone of boulder fields.

Trophic Level:

Suspension feeder

Trophic Details:

Suspension feeder (Lee II and Reusser 2012) Is a suspension feeder on phytoplankton (Hughes 1992) Suspension feeder, feeds on phytoplankton (NEMESIS 2016) RELATED: [Bryozoans] Suspension feeder...filter phytoplankton less than 0.045mm in size from the water column. (Hill 2001) [Bryozoa] Many phytoplankton species are cleary unsuitable as food for bryozoans. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) [Cheilostomata] Main food is diatom, protozoans and etc. and unappropriate sized particles are ejected (Mawatari 1976)

Forage Mode:

Generalist

Forage Details:

Feeds on phytoplankton. Feeds by extending ciliated tentacles of the lophophore as a funnel, creating a current, and driving food particles into their mouths (NEMESIS 2016) RELATED: [Bryozoans] Suspension feeder...filter phytoplankton less than 0.045mm in size from the water column. (Hill 2001) [Bryozoa] Many phytoplankton species are cleary unsuitable as food for bryozoans. (Hayward & Ryland 1999) [Cheilostomata] Main food is diatom, protozoans and etc. and unappropriate sized particles are ejected (Mawatari 1976)

Natural Control:

POLLUTION [Pollution] Species is frequently found near channel mouths, where water circulation is very active and clearer waters are present. Species is affected adversely by turbid and polluted environments (Ambrogi 1985; Nair 1961, cited in Ambrogi 1985) PREDATION [Predation] Grazing organisms such as sea urchins and fish (Gordon 2015) [Predation] Fed on by Okenia plana, Onchidoris muricata (Carlton 2007) [Predation] Fish, crabs, etc. (Altman and Whitlatch 2007) [Predation] Eaten by various nudibranchs, sea urchins and fish (Morrisey and Miller 2009) [Predation] Juveniles did not seem to be affected by any of the predators (Osman and Whitlatch 1998) COMPETITION [Competition] Intra- and interspecific competition (Altman and Whitlatch 2007) [Competition] Competition and overgrowth from sponges, algae, and tunicates (Gordon 2015) [Competition] Associated with Ciona intestinalis-free communities (Blum et al 2007) [Competition] Susceptible to invasions when growing alone (Stachowicz et al 1999) [Competition] In a study, Botryllus schlosseri was found to be 100% successful in overtopping and killing >50% of C. pallasiana (Grosberg 1981) DISTURBANCE [Disturbance] Storm events (Altman and Whitlatch 2007) RELATED: PREDATION [Predation] [Bryozoa] Browsers and grazers, including sea urchins, fish, crabs and some prosobranchs, are known to include bryozoans in their diet. (Hayward & Ryland 1998) [Predation] [Bryozoa] Bryozoans are also the prey of very many small, selective predators, some of which may be adapted to a very narrow spectrum of prey species. Among them opisthobranch predators of bryozoans are well known. (Hayward & Ryland 1998) [Predation] [Bryozoa] Other than opisthobranchs as a predator, amphipods, isopods, mites and pycnogonids have all been recorded preying on bryozoan colonies. (Hayward & Ryland 1998) EPIBIONTS [Epibionts] [Cheilostomata] It is frequently observed in Japan that several species of hydroids flourish on Cheilostomata cause damages to them. (Mawatari 1976)

Literature:

Extensive scientific information; peer-reviewed information; data specific to the location; supported by long-term datasets (10 years or more)

Notes:

The distribution of C. p. is unknown because of the earlier confusion with C. okadai (now synonymy of C. zavjalovensis (see Grischenko et al. 2007)). (Mawatari 1992)
