This fish caught by Brent Hanley near Hanois lighthouse off Guernsey's south-west coast on 15 October 2011 will be submitted as a British angling record. It weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. and 3 drams. The fish had suffered some damage to the second dorsal fin rays during its infancy. Although the ray membrane was intact, five rays were missing. The ratio of the height of the dorsal fin lobe to the length of the pectoral fin keyed out to a Guinean or a greater amberjack, but the gill raker count was too high for these fish. Based on the gill raker count alone, this fish was identified as an Almaco jack, Seriola rivoliana. Jacks in the genus Seriola are becoming more frequent visitors to the western English Channel. The first Seriola jack captured in Bailiwick of Guernsey records, was landed by George Staples on 7 September 2000 off the east coast of Herm Island. This fish was identified, based on the gill raker count and the fin ratios as a Guinean amberjack, Seriola carpenteri, but some doubt has now been cast on the original identification, and the individual fish, which was destined for the Natural History Museum in London, can no longer be located.

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
These two adult Aeolidia papillosa nudibranchs were on the upper shore in a shallow pool near the Guernsey origin of the Lihou Island causeway on the afternoon of 9 May 2009. Near-by were two deposits of spawn. The spawn is photographed in the adjacent images. These nudibranchs feed on sea anemones - particularly beadlet and snakelocks anemones. There cerata on the dorsal surface retain the nematocysts or stinging cells of the anemones they consume. File No. 090509 3851 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
I think this flatworm is Cycloporus papillosus. Two individuals were lying on a large colony of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, on the base of a rock, just south of the Lihou Island causeway. This flatworm was photographed having glided off the ascidian colony on the 9 May 2009. The Botryllus schlosseri colony had been excavated and several deposits of very small eggs were deposited in the depression. I do not know if the flatworms produced the eggs or some other species such as a mollusc. File No. 090509 3943 ©RLLord sealordphotography.net fishinfo@guernsey.net
A green caterpillar, identity unknown, consumes the leaves of Buddleja, ( Buddleia sp.), in St. Peter Port, Guernsey at about 6 pm on the 2 May 2009. The image was captured with a 6 second time exposure and an aperture set at f16. I used a discarded aluminium drink can found on the street to act as a prop for my 100 mm macro lens.
