Berthella californica in British Columbia

March 26, 2004
From: Jackie Hildering and Glen Miller


Hello Dr. Rudman,
I will be sending a series of images since we had an astounding dive in which we saw 16 species of nudibranch on one shore dive.
I believe these two are Berthella californica. The upper one is on a piece of the kelp Agarum fimbriatum. Could you please confirm?

Dive: Bear Cove, Northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada
Depth: 40'

Dear Jackie and Glen,
I am sure your identification is correct. In the upper photo you can see traces of the two rhinophores and the oral veil so it definitely a pleurobranch
Best wishes
