In this study, polychaete worms in muddy-sandy coast of Gulshahr in Bandar abbas were investigated. Monthly sampling was conducted during one year from July 2005 until June using a hand corer. According to the results five families of polychaete worms, comprising 6 species, were recorded as macro fauna in the studied sites. The identified families were as following: nereididae, nephtyidae, spionidae, capitellidae, and glyceridae. The most species diversity belonged to family spionidae, while nephtyidae were the most abundant family. Results indicated that the polychaete worms were relatively sparse. This was more considerable in high intertidal areas.
