Description

Overview

Annelids (phylum Annelida) are segmented worms — aquatic worms, earthworms, and leeches — commonly found along streambeds, lake bottoms, and among aquatic vegetation. Their soft bodies and twisting, undulating movement make them an easy, protein-rich food source for fish, especially when high water, runoff, or disturbed sediment washes them into the current.
