“…The Nereidinae have several modifications to their range of specialised morphology, physiology and reproductive adaptations compared to other families of polychaetes to survive in harsh environments. This marine worm was widely spread, inhabiting the Nipa palm and mangrove sediments along the coastal swamps in Malaysia ( Junardi, 2018 ). Polychaetes have been documented for their various agricultural utilities, for example, as a medium for the degradation of vegetation, wood and roots, as a bio-indicator in a marine environment for pollution and also used as a bio-remediation of wastewater by fish and other aquafarming industries ( Dean, 2008 , Sibaja-Cordero and Echeverria-Saenz, 2015 , Tomassetti and Porrello, 2005 ).…”
