Identification Tools	For an online identification tool for polychaete families, see http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/abrs/online-resources/polikey/index.html by Chris Glasby and Kristian Fauchald. Wilson et.al. (2003: Wilson, R. S., Hutchings, P. A. & Glasby, C. J. Polychaetes - An interactive identification guide [CD-ROM]. Melbourne: CSIRO Publishing.) should allow identification of most Australian species. See Australian Biological Resources Study (1994-2005) for checklist last updated by Hutchings & Johnson in 2003: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/abrs/online-resources/fauna/afd/taxa/POLYCHAETA;ANNELIDA. For tools aimed at identification of introduced species of polychaetes, see http://www.padil.gov.au/browseSpecies.aspx?menu=s7&group=1&taxa=Polychaeta&o=1&id=26&paging=No. For New Zealand, valuable resources are Read (2004a; 2004b): http://www.annelida.net/nz/Polychaeta/ShorePoly/NZShorePolychaeta_begin.htm and http://www.annelida.net/nz/Polychaeta/ShellsPoly/NZShellsPolychaeta.htm.
