Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, collected by Troy Waterman on the Guernsey shore on 19th April 2010

This Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, was collected by Troy Waterman from the Guernsey sea shore.

It was about one year since Troy Waterman found the first invasive Asian shore crab near Vale Pond on Guernsey's north-west coast.

This crab had both of its chelae or claws.

This crab species has successfully invaded the Jersey shore.

It is less of an invasive species on the Guernsey shore where it is found in fewer numbers. It is found high up in the inter tidal zone of the Guernsey sea shore.

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.
