Fish Quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey

Marine life living on the fish quay pontoons in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain

This beautiful nudibranch, Facelina annulicornis, was seen on the side of the pontoons attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007 along with two other sea slug species. The other species can be seen in the distance - Facelina bostoniensis and Facelina auriculata. Dr. Bernard Picton in his excellent book "A Field Guide to the Nudibranchs of the British Isles" writes that Facelina annulicornis has been known to attack and consume some other sea slug species.<br />

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.
