Description
Nudibranchs of Britain, Ireland and Northwest Europe by Bernard Picton and Christine Morrow is 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. This evolutionary loss 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.
This guide covers more than 195 species, each on its own two-page spread. It includes in situ photos to aid in finding nudibranchs underwater and on the shore, features photos of nudibranchs' distinctive spawn coils, and studio photos showing detailed anatomy.
The book presents key distinguishing features and essential information on size, habitat, diet, and distribution, making it an invaluable resource for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
