quote: "Neanthes arenaceodentata, which he first cultured from specimens collected in 1964 from Los Angeles Harbor while hunting for wood-borers. In his 30+years working the “worm farm”, Reish supplied more than 80 laboratories/research institutes and sold over 400,000 specimens. Neanthes is now a standard method for toxicity testing and is a staple for sediment quality."
