SEA SLUGS |
AND OTHER MARINE INVERTEBRATES OF THE TWEED - BYRON COAST, AUSTRALIA. |
UPDATES
Latest additions. New species on site and better images of species already listed.
HELP NEEDED! Any feedback on species not named, and corrections to my mistakes, would be greatly appreciated.
The locations given are where I have found these species but this does not imply that these are the only places
on the coast that they can be found.---------------------------------------

September - Flat seas and low tides have enabled me to look closely at the masses of Galeolaria worm tubes on
the north seawall, and the many species that live in and around them. The tiny parasitic snail Pseudoskenella depressa
is a very interesting example.
July - Very little diving done lately, the wintery days have kept me out of the water. Old and cold!!
Still able to find some new images though.
March - After 3 La Ninas the current El Nino has been the wettest I have seen here.
Unfortunately the river is badly affected and is still not worth a dive. I have also
not been able to dive at Hastings Point since before the Christmas holidays. Nothing
on the beaches as well.
November - not a lot of opportunity to get in the water lately. A search of the
mangroves revealed large numbers of the seaslug Elysia bangtawaensis in
mudcrab holes and shallow natural drains.
August - No diving in the Brunswick River, could be soon though due to lack
of rain. A few calm, clear days at Hastings Point were very rewarding, with
some new species. Some name changes as well.
June - No diving in the Brunswick River as yet but several trips to Hastings Point,
with much better conditions, have provided some new species. Also added are images
of some Brunswick species not previously included.
