Polycera capensis from Jervis Bay [1]
June 4, 2003
From: Sue Newson
Hi Bill,
I was reading the messages regarding Polycera capensis and its distribution. I have found it in Jervis Bay [New South Wales, Australia] on 3 occasions, The first (6 January 2000) being at a site called The Southern Scallop Beds at a depth of 19m, This site is in the middle of the bay and has a silty bottom. The second sighting (30 November 2002) was at a depth of 11m on a silty bottom. This dive was west of Murrays Beach Boat Ramp. I have included a photo of this one.
Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of the first encounter with this nudibranch, but the picture I drew in my log book is exactly the same as the nudibranch in this photo. I will send a separate message regarding the third sighting of this nudibranch on a separate message as there is slight differences between the two. Perhaps a juvenile?
