Abstract
In this study we examined the tubes of building polychaetes erpulidae family of Bandar Abbas coast. Sampling was done using hammer and Knife from the fisheries wharf body and tidal conditions were maximized. Polychaetes collected samples were placed in plastic bags and transported to the laboratory. Polychaetes samples with valid identification keys were identified. The relationship between measured morphological parameters (number of crown branches, operculum and peduncle length, width of the Thorax) was investigated and the results showed that there was no direct correlation between the length of worm and his tube, polychaetes length and body weight were assessed to determine the type of growth and results showed body length and weight of polychaetes showed negative algometric growth, also between the total length of body and the other measured parameters was observed a linear relationship. A significant correlation was not found between morphological parameters.
