sealord > The juvenile swimming crab, Liocarcinus arcuatus, was common in the eel grass, Zostera marinus, beds on the beach in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast in February. Photographed on the 20 February 2007. File No. BG 200207 17-882 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > This well camouflaged juvenile female Liocarcinus arcuatus crab was found in the eel grass beds at extreme low water in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. R.W. Ingle in his book "British Crabs" gives this crab a common name of 'arch fronted swimming crab' but common names are not well established for many crab species. This individual has a carapace or shell width of 10.0 mm. This image was taken with a Canon S80 with an underwater housing. I have taken close-up film images too, which will be available soon. Collected and photographed on the 20 February 2007. File No. 200207 6762 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The velvet swimming crab, Necora puber, is called a lady crab in Guernsey. These red-eyed crabs are fast moving and aggressive except during copulation when couples can be touched without any reaction. Necora puber lives under boulders and cobbles and will quickly move away when a stone is turned over. This individual was under a cobble in the cobble field to the east of what I call 'overhang gully' at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast. Photographed on the 29 April 2006.
