PICTURE
GALLERY
Each
month, at least one special marine image will be published from images
sent to the BMLSS. This
can be of the seashore, undersea world or any
aspect of the marine natural world, especially the underwater life, but
not restricted to life beneath the waves. Topical inclusions may be included
instead of the most meritorious, and images will be limited to the NE Atlantic
Ocean and adjoining seas, marine and seashore species and land and seascapes.
Eelpout,
Zoarces
viviparus
Photograph
by Sandra Turner
This
splendid study of an Eelpout was
photographed in Browns
Bay, Cullercoats,
Tyne & Wear, at around 6 metres depth on 2
August 2017.
This
slippery fish is unknown from the English Channel and inhabits the colder
shallow seas to the east and north of the British Isles and it would be
interesting to know the most southernmost records of where it can be found?
It can even be found in pools on the shore at low tide
amongst the Scottish islands, where it forms part of the varied diet of
the Eurasian Otter
living on the shore.
