#invertefest 🧵on amazing #marineinvertebrates of NW Sicily's Mediterranean. On night snorkel met incredible Spotted Bumble Bee Shrimp (Gnathophyllum elegans)! And Rugose Spider Crab (Herbstia condyliata)? but what's the zooming red shrimp that kept crashing into us? #MySwim 1/25 
Other common crabs of the Gulf of Castellammare, Sicily include: Sea Urchin (Percon gibbesi) especially among break water boulders, Warty (Eriphia verrucosa), Runner Crab (Pachygrapsus marmoratus) - by anemone, & Mediterranean Intertidal Hermit (Clibanarius erythropus) crabs 2/25
These enchanting Rockpool/Grass Prawns (Palaemon elegans) were abundant in the crystal clear, bath-warm shallows of Calla Minnola, Levanzo. Love how you can see, on their head, the toothed rostrum & feather like structures at base of antennae & all their internal organs.

After walking from #Freckenham down gorgeous Kennett-Lee Brook, a perfect-looking #chalkstream, as I slipped into #RiverLark at West Row on a perfect Saturday a.m., was buzzing with anticipation for a swim up Lee Brook. But, horrors! For almost a mile a DEAD ZONE!

Apart from some swarms of fish fry at the confluence of the Lee Brook with the #RiverLark, many of which were diseased, including these Roach, for the first mile, the only fish I saw were diseased or dead, such as this Perch & these Three-spined Sticklebacks.

Haven't seen anywhere else the diseases suffered by the fish in Lee Brook at its confluence with River Lark; especially Roach and Minnow fry were affected. Also saw Chub, Rudd & Gudgeon fry in the mixed shoals.
