In this study, the authors studied lipids and glycogen in the Pacific lugworm for a year, in order to account for seasonal variability and reproductive cycles.  They did not find seasonal variations, but the data showed that storage lipids, especially triacylglycerides, {\textquotedblleft}were strongly elevated{\textquotedblright} when eggs were formed.  {\textquotedblleft}We doubt that A. pacifica is ever food-limited in Yaquina Bay.  The biochemical composition and nutritive value of surface sediments in Yaquina Bay change little throughout the year{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright}(p.294)},
