Red ribbon worm, Lineus ruber, eggs in gelatinous cocoon in Havelet Bay on Guernsey's east coast

This image shows the eggs of the red ribbon worm, Lineus ruber, in a gelatinous tube. The tube was attached to the base of a boulder located near the top of the shore in Havelet Bay on the southern edge of St. Peter Port on Guernsey's east coast. Individual sand grains can be seen to the right of the eggs. The horizontal field of view is about 13 mm. The reddish pink bivalve clam on the right could be Lasaea rubra.

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.
