Scholtyssek, J., 2000 (Jul 6) More photos of Notarchus swimming. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/2658
Dear Jochen,
Thanks very much. I have included three of the ones you sent, showing take-off and swimming. They make a nice addition to your earlier photos.
I have included an arrow in each photo to show whether Notarchus is sucking water in, or squirting it out, through the single opening into its parapodial cavity.
Upper right: Notarchus squirting water out as it begins to 'swim.'
Lower left: sucking water in as it tumbles over.
Lower right: jetting water out in forward propulsion.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
