A strikingly illustrated photographic identification guide to sea
slugs in all their colourful variety
Nudibranchs, or sea slugs, are a group of marine gastropod molluscs
whose adults lack shells, an evolutionary loss that has led to a wide
variety of body shapes, colours and colour patterns, making them popular
with divers and underwater photographers. In this book, experienced
nudibranch experts Bernard Picton and Christine Morrow provide an
accessible and authoritative photographic identification guide for
anyone interested in finding and identifying nudibranchs in the coastal
waters of Britain, Ireland and Northwest Europe.
- Covers more than 195 species, each on its own two-page spread
- Includes in situ photos to aid finding nudibranchs under water and on
the shore
- Features photos of nudibranchs' distinctive spawn coils and studio
photos showing detailed anatomy
- Presents key distinguishing features and essential information on
size, habitat, diet and distribution
