Aplysia from Croatia
March 4, 2005
From: Andrej Jaklin
Dear Bill,
In addition to my previous message [message #13270], I'm sending two pictures on more or less the same subject. This time they were taken in situ. First one is a juvenile specimen (16 mm) which looks like A. punctata, but parapodial edges are black. Second one is of an adult(?) A. punctata, without black edges and eye-like spots.
Locality: Croatia, Northern Adriatic. Photographer: Andrej Jaklin
Any comments?
Best regards,
AJ

Jaklin,A., 2005 (Mar 4) Aplysia from Croatia. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/13271Dear Andrej,
I guess my previous comments apply. Sometimes it is too hard from photos. Certainly the dark parapodial edge in the upper photo could suggest Aplysia parvula, but I can't see enough of the lower animal to make any comment.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
