sealord > This juvenile corkwing wrasse, Crenilabrus melops, or Symphodus (Crenilabrus) melops, was caught with a dip net in a tuft of serrated wrack, Fucus serratus, which was growing out of the sandy bottomed channel leading to the Queen Elizabeth II marina, St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain. Many of the juvenile wrasse in this channel were parasitised by Anilocra sp. isopod crustaceans. These isopods dig into the skin of the fish behind and above the eye on one side of the head. This individual was returned to the QE II marina channel after photography. Collected and photographed on the 29 September 2007. File No. 290907 12-930 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > Two shore clingfish, Lepadogaster lepadogaster, guard their sheet of eggs, which they have attached to the base of a boulder in Quaine gully in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. Clingfish are well-adapted to living in gullies because their modified pelvic fins allow them to adhere to the substrate so they don't get swept away by strong water flows rushing up and down the gully. The eggs in the sheet have been deposited on two separate occasions as the darker orange eggs are more advanced in development than the pale yellow eggs, which have been laid recently. Photographed on the 17 April 2007. File No. BG 170407 7936 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

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.
