Thank you for visiting Sealord photography on Smugmug.
Sealord photography focuses on three themes:
Biodiversity with an emphasis on marine life
Sustainability relating to construction & urban development; energy; food; transport; and waste.
The Guernsey community
Guernsey Sea hares and sea slugs
More nudibranch images can be seen in the Fish Quay, St. Peter Port harbour gallery at http://sealord.smugmug.com/gallery/3514928#200787061
I found eight Facelina auriculata sea slugs on the fish quay pontoons and the attached kelp in St. Peter Port harbour in about ten minutes of looking on 9 March 2007. Facelina auriculata has annulate rhinophores. This sea slug has a long tail, which can be seen in the photograph. It has also a narrow foot. The largest specimen I found was just over 44.5 mm long when gliding in a straight line. Dr. Bernard Picton of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum made the identification.

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.
