snapping shrimp photos
Hi folks
I am taxonomist at the National Natural History Museum in Paris, France, and the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
I am searching for pictures of Australian snapping shrimps and other shrimps, especially from Western Australia and New South Wales, but also from elsewhere in Australia, New Zealand, PNG etc.
the pictures help me to identify the colour patterns, which may be very important for species identification, even if the specimen is not collected.
you can believe me, the taxonomy of Australian alpheids is still in poor state and needs a major revision.
anyway, if you have something interesting for me, please let me know ! my email: artour_a@yahoo.com
and if you want, I can help to identify your shrimp and crab critters, too
greetings from Canada
cheers

A Turtle Nursery At Wakatobi
by KarenS
- Sea Turtles can live to be 100 years old, but most don’t survive their first few days. In the wild, the tiny hatchlings typically encounter a gauntlet of predators as they hatch and make their way from beachside nests to open water, and they remain especially vulnerable those first few months of life. When nature is in balance, this attrition is a normal part of the circle of life. But when turtles become threatened by factors such as habitat loss, or predators like fish and birds, they may need a little extra help to maintain a normal population. This is where Wakatobi Dive Resort has stepped in.
