The endoparasitic copepod above was dissected from a Doto species of nudibranch found on a pontoon at Newlyn Marina, Newlyn, Cornwall, 24.06.18.
It must be noted that Newlyn Marina is a private marina that is largely used for commercial activities.
Thanks to Myles O'Reilly for pointing out the probable species here prior to identification by dissection of the nudibranch.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
