Aplysia morio from Isla Cubagua, Venezuela
July 24, 2007
From: Sylvia Grüne
Hi Bill,
We found Aplysia morio on Margarita island at three different localities and on Cubagua Island. I have never seen this Aplysia before and it was a really amazing discovery. I collected three specimens and they are at the Museo Oceanológico Hermano Bengigno Román (Fundación La Salle), Punta de Piedras, Margarita island. The specimens were really large (aprox.40 cm)and I found them just swimming and eating Ulva.
Locality: Isla de Margarita, Isla Cubagua, surface, Nueva Esparta, Caribbean, April 2007. Length: 400 mm. Photographer: Sylvia Grüne.
Best wishes,
Sylvia
