Rock goby, Gobius paganellus, in a Belle Greve Bay tide pool on Guernsey's east coast on 20th February 2007

This rock goby, Gobius paganellus, was waiting under a boulder for a partner. Female rock gobies will start laying eggs under boulders soon. This rock goby was in a gravel and sand bottomed pool that had an assortment of boulders and cobbles lying in it.

This image was taken with a compact Canon S80 digital camera with an underwater housing in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the 20th February 2007.

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.
