Aplysia depilans from Tunisia

July 28, 2003
From: J. Ben Souissi and A. Eters

Dear Bill,
This Aplysia is another of the opisthobranchs we found in a coastal lagoon, "Lac de Tunis" [south section] in Tunis, Tunisia, North Africa. Depth: 0 to 1m some time between January and March, 2003.
Can you identify it please.
Thanks,
Jamila Ben Souissi and Anis Eters

Dear Jamila & Anis,
It is not easy to identify the species from this angle but the broad sucker-like foot make me think it is most probably Aplysia depilans
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
