Aplysia californica inking

March 3, 2003
From: Bill Rudman


I have just discovered Genny Anderson's wonderful website at http://www.biosbcc.net/ocean/flindex.htm which she describes as 'a virtual trip to the Santa Barbara tidepools'. It contains an informative illustrated account of the Californian intertidal zone, including some excellent photos of various sea-slugs. Genny has given me permission to post a few of these photos on the Forum, including this spectacular photo of Aplysia californica inking. [see the Sea Hares - chemical defence Page for futher information].
