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 > This small sea lamprey, Petromyzon marinus, was captured while attached to a bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, by Guernsey commercial fisherman Steve Fallaize on 13 January 2007.

Towards the end of April 2007 a spear fisherman caught a grey mullet in Belle Greve Bay with a lamprey attached to it.  The lamprey was about the same size as the one released.  The spear fishermen removed the lamprey from the grey mullet and the lamprey swam away quickly.
