sealord > A male sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus, lies partially buried in the sand in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. This fish can bury itself remarkably quickly. Photographed on the 20 February 2007. File No. BG 200207 10-881 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > A palaemonid prawn hides under a ledge in a rock pool in Belle Greve Bay. The tip of the rostrum of this prawn is missing. Palaemonid shrimp or prawns (the names are interchangable) are abundant in Belle Greve Bay. They seem to co-exist very well with the numerous intertidal fish species in the bay. They are good scavengers cleaning up after others. Photographed on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6045 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > A live adult long-spined sea scorpion, Taurulus bubalis, which belongs in the sculpin family, cottidae, in a defensive posture with its operculum (gill cover) spines flared. File no. 30-137 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This attractive nudibranch, Polycera faeroensis, was photographed by hanging over the edge of a pontoon in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina in St. Peter Port harbour on 26 September 2006. This is the first time I have seen this species in the marina. Previously I have seen this species in crab pots off Guernsey's south coast. File No. 260906 4-863 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > On 14 December 2006 Guernsey crab fisherman, Chris Marquis, potting for edible crabs, Cancer pagurus, found a buoy covered in goose barnacles, Lepas anatifera, floating in the sea in the Big Russell - a passage between the islands of Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. In amongst the mass of goose barnacles he saw a Columbus crab, Planes minutus, which he gave to me. I kept the crab in an aquarium. On 23 December 2006 on the strand-line of the sea shore of the north-east coast of Guernsey I collected a rubber Kito Sports sandal, size 44, covered in small goose barnacles. The crab lived on this goose barnacle-covered sandal for a number of days before the barnacles began to die. This crab also known as a Sargassum, Gulf weed or turtle crab, lives on flotsam and under the carapace of some turtles in the North Atlantic. A few of these crabs turn up towards the end of the year in the western English Channel. A number of these crabs washed up on the south coast of England at the same time.

This scandal was covered in small goose barnacles. The crab lived in the scandal in an aquarium for a number of days before the barnacles began to die. The crab is now living on a foam mat. Columbus crabs, also known as turtle, sargassum or Gulf weed crabs, live on flotsam or under the shells of turtles in the North Atlantic and other oceans. They arrive in Guernsey waters with the prevailing currents in the later part of the year. On the same day Chris Marquis found this Columbus crab about twenty Columbus crabs were found on the south coast of England. Photo taken with a Canon S80 digital camera in an underwater housing.
