Scientists raise the alarm: Too many harbour porpoises dying in nets. In Danish coastal waters over 900 die each year vs a 24 death limit that would keep Belt Sea population stable. In 2012 & 2016, there were around 40.000 individuals, by 2022, only 14.000 left.  🧪🦑🌎 tech.au.dk/en/about-the...

Finally broke my long surface interval from diving this weekend, while waters were cold, it was so nice to be back in business! Got some photos too, but i forgot to turn off the camera between the dives, so it ran out of battery on the second dive, when all the nicer things showed up 🤪 🦑🤿

White, semi-transparent, nudibranch with branching cerata crawling on a pink-encrusted piece of shell. The species is likely Dendronotus frondosus
A close up photo of a oat-pipe hydroid from the side, with its tentacles splayed out, the colour is pinkish with transparent tentacles and a beige stem
A sea anemone with a beautiful pattern of white and dark brown on the oral disc, at the base of the tentacles. A stark white line runs from the mouth to the base of the tentacles, towards the viewer

Another Wednesday, another reason to be pink. This is a Bryer's Nut crab (Ebalia tumefacta), a tiny species of crab that can be found on sandy, rocky and gravel seafloors. this particular individual was seen during Diversnight in Lysekil 2023 (no clue how i even spotted it) 🦑🤿📷🦀

A very small crab with very small eyes and a pink carapace, walking over shell gravel, there is some dust on the carapace itself as well

On Wednesday we wear pink! Though the name of the nudibranch is Violet sea slug (Edmundsella pedata), i'd say this one from Väderöarna archipelago is of a sufficiently pinkish colouration, right? 🤿🦑 #Nudibranch Photo date: 2021 07 24 Camera: Olympus TG-5

Puprple-pink coloured nudibranch with beautiful white "spine-tips" and tip of antennae, crawling on yellowish brown algae, the animal is facing away from the camera

Happy flatworm Friday everyone, here have some Candy-striped flatworm (Prostheceraeus vittatus) photos taken July and September last year 🦑 🐛

White flatworm with black, lengthwise, stripes on a rocky substratum facing forward towards the camera
White flatworm with black, lengthwise, stripes crawling on a algae covered rock, the photo is a bit more zoomed out, showing the whole body

Hello there bluesky! I have come here to marine biologist and chew bubble-gum, and i am all out of bubble-gum #MarineLife 🦑

Angular crab male showing off that he is big and not to be messed with, never mind that even with claws, he is the size of my hand.
