A campanulariid hydroid on the walking leg of a Columbus crab, Planes minutus, on 14 December 2006

This close-up image shows hydroids attached to a pereiopod (walking leg) of a Columbus crab, Planes minutus, which was collected by Guernsey commercial crab fisherman Chris Marquis from a goose barnacle covered buoy floating in the Big Russell between the islands of Herm and Sark in the Bailiwick of Guernsey on 14 December 2006. Dr. Bernard Picton and Dr. Ferdinando Boero write that the hydroid is a Campanulariid, and it could be Clytia hemisphaerica, which is widespread.

Dr. Boero writes that Clytia hemispaerica lives on many different substrates including floating plastic bags.

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.

Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.

Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.

The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.

Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
