shore clingfish, Lepadogaster lepadogaster, eggs in the inter-tidal zone at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast on 22 June 2001 All Rights Reserved©RLLord File No. 220601 32-487 fishinfo@guernsey.net
This egg deposit from the nudibranch Aeolidia papillosa was attached to the side of a boulder. The boulder was turned for the photograph. The egg deposit was photographed dry whereas in the previous image another Aeolidia papillosa egg deposit was photographed underwater. There were two adult Aeolidia papillosa in the vicinity of this egg deposit, which was located close to the Guernsey end of the Lihou Island causeway.

This image shows a deposit of eggs of the nudibranch Aeolidia papillosa. Two adult Aeolidia papillosa nudibranchs were seen in the proximity of two deposits of Aeolidia papillosa eggs on the upper shore near the Guernsey end of the Lihou Island causeway on 9 May 2009. Aeolidia papillosa is the largest nudibranch that regularly visits the Guernsey inter-tidal area. It feeds on anemones, particularly beadlet anemones and snakelock anemones, which are both common on the Guernsey shore. File No. 090509 3857 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

This light caramel coloured compound ascidian colony which measures 22 mm across has had four 2 mm diameter holes bitten out of it by the gastropod or snail Lamellaria perspicua which then has deposited its eggs inside so that when the snail embryos hatch they have an immediate food supply. Lamellaria perspicua feeds exclusively on compound ascidians or sea squirts. These snails have a fragile internal shell. They appear on the base of boulders and cobbles as a large periwinkle-sized dome or cap of rough tissue. File No. BG 080208 2921 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

These rock goby embryos, which I photographed on 18 April 2007, were developing on the underside of a boulder at the edge of a pool in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. I refer to the pool as 'broken crater' because it has three steep sides but no east facing side. These embryos are protected during their development by the male rock goby. If the male fish didn't chase off predators all these nutritious embryos would be consumed by crabs in a very short period of time. File No. 180407 25-896 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
This mass of eggs appears to be at two stages of development indicating two separate deposits of eggs. Sculpin eggs Cullercoats 180307 18-887 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
