sealord > Shore rockling, Gaidropsarus mediterraneus, are scarce on the Guernsey shore during the winter months but they seem to arrive in inshore waters and into the intertidal area before or during the largest set of spring tides in March. During the large spring tides of late march, anglers were catching shore rockling from the St. Peter Port harbour wall. Shore rockling were numerous under boulders and cobbles in the intertidal area of Belle Greve Bay. This individual was found in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the 20 March 2007. The three-bearded rockling, which this species resembles, is not found in the intertidal area. It also has a different skin colour and it has more pectoral rays than the shore rockling.

sealord > These long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, eggs laid in 'crater rock pool' (see http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#127980518 ) were seen first on the 5 February 2007 (see http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/1984411#129298476 ). One month later and most of them have hatched but a few eggs are still developing. The eggs have eyes and some tails can be seen too. These eggs were still protected by an adult long-spined sea scorpion but it swam away when I took the photograph. The fish belong to the sculpin family, cottidae. Photographed on the 5 March 2007.
