Re: Cuthona cf. caerulea from Senegal

Dear Bill,

Lastly, I found in Cerbere a specimen of Cuthona caerulea which has the same yellowish specks on cerata than one of Senegalese animals [see message #10285]. That tends to confirm your identification. The difference in cerata length between Senegalese and Mediterranean animals of this species puzzles me.

Locality: Cerbere, France, Mediterranean coast. Site: La Ramere. July 10, 2002. Depth: 11 m. Size: 10 mm. Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia 


Cheers,
Marina.

Dear Marina, My apologies for not posting this sooner. I suspect you don't remember sending it. I found it while preparing Dominique Horst's message today. Concerning the Senegalese animals - I may be quite wrong, but it is suprising how sometimes, cerata can be extended far beyond what we expect to see. Best wishes Bill Rudman, W.B., 2009 (Jun 5).
