Etymology Not stated. Johnston (1840) has no mention of a Forbes. However, Johnston (1865: 219) states that "in 1840 I characterized this genus from specimens which were found in a collection of Scottish worms presented to me by Professors Goodsir and Edward Forbes. Therefore the species was named for Edward Forbes. Professor Edward Forbes (1815 – 1854) was a Manx naturalist and became professor of natural history at the University of Edinburgh, about a year prior to his death at only aged 39.

Distribution The distribution of T. forbesii comprises the subtidal zone in the western Wadden Sea, the Southern Bight and sorne locations in the Voordelta. Some individuals have been found at the Cleaver Bank, the Dogger Bank and in the north-eastern part of the area. [details]

Biology T. forbesii spawns from November to February. Eggs and larvae are non-pelagic. It is generaily considered to be a non-selective deposit feeder. T. forbesii is eaten by different kinds of fish (Wolff, 1973; Fauchald & Jumars, 1979; Hayward & Ryland, 1990). [details]Classification Johnston (1840) originally placed Travisia forbesii in the Arenicolidae. Grube (1850:319) placed Travisia in the Opheliidae (then as Opheliacea). [details] Etymology Not stated. Johnston (1840) has no mention of a Forbes. However, Johnston (1865: 219) states that "in 1840 I characterized this genus from specimens which were found in a collection of Scottish worms presented to me by Professors Goodsir and Edward Forbes. Therefore the species was named for Edward Forbes. Professor Edward Forbes (1815 – 1854) was a Manx naturalist and became professor of natural history at the University of Edinburgh, about a year prior to his death at only aged 39. [details] Morphology Travisia forbesii is a short, spindle-shaped worm with a conical head, circular in cross section anteriorly, but without a clear ventral groove in the hind part. The body is made up of 30 segments and rneasures about 30 mm in length and 7 mm in width. Parapodia are inconspicuous, but finger-like gills are present from the second segment onwards. T. forbesii is whitish or flesh pink in colour and may be encrusted with sand. This species gives of a strong garlic-like smell when collected (Hartmann-Schröder, 1971; Hayward & Ryland, 1990).

Distribution southern Gaspe waters (Baie des Chaleurs, Gaspe Bay to American, Orphan and Bradelle banks; eastern boundary: eastern Bradelle Valley), Magdalen Islands (from eastern Bradelle valley to the west, as far as Cape North, including the Cape Breton Channel); lower North Shore [details]Distribution The distribution of T. forbesii comprises the subtidal zone in the western Wadden Sea, the Southern Bight and sorne locations in the Voordelta. Some individuals have been found at the Cleaver Bank, the Dogger Bank and in the north-eastern part of the area. [details] Habitat The species has been mainly found in medium to coarse sand with a very low silt content. T. forbesii is reported as a species inhabiting coarse to fine sand, and (rarely) mud (Hartmann- Schröder, 1971; Wolff, 1973; Hayward & Ryland, 1990). [details] Habitat intertidal and infralittoral of the Gulf and estuary [details]
