sealord > Guernsey commercial fisherman Steve Fallaize was fishing for bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, on the Boue Blondel off Guernsey's west coast when he landed a bass with a sea lamprey attached.  This lamprey was given to me on the 13 January 2007.  It was photographed and released into Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast.  Several weeks later a recreational angler reported catching a grey mullet, Chelon labrosus, in Belle Greve Bay with a sea lamprey attached.  The size of the lamprey indicated that this specimen was most likely the one that I had released.

sealord > The polychaete worm Nereis fucata forms an unusual relationship with the hermit crab, Pagurus bernhardus.  The worm seeks out a hermit crab inhabiting an empty whelk shell by sensing when the hermit crab walks over the substrate.  The worm will quickly come out of the substrate and penetrate the interior of the whelk shell.  Sometimes the hermit crab will catch the worm before it can accomplish this.  If the worm is successful in entering the whelk shell it will build itself a cocoon near the apex of the shell.  When the hermit crab feeds the worm emerges from the shell to try and steal the hermit crab's food.  The hermit crab often uses one of its right legs to push the worm back in the shell but eventually the worm will reach the hermit crab's mouth and steal the food.
