Information on Aplysia in Chile

March 30, 1999
From: Soledad De La Piedra

Dear Dr.Bill RUDMAN :
My name is Soledad De La Piedra, I am Marine Biologist of the University Arturo Prat. Chile. When "El Niño" happened in 1997 - 1998, specifically in the north of Chile, a
series of natural events related to this phenomenon happened, among them the appearance of individuals of the genus Aplysia. Before this we have no record of their presence in this zone. Thus it is me of great interest to identify and know about the species Aplysia that have arrived at our coasts. I would very much like some information about this interesting group. I am also studying its reproductive biology. If You had some papers or information about these animals I would be very grateful.

Dear Soledad,
If you look through the Forum you will find quite a bit of information on aplysiids and references to particular aspects of their biology. In particular go to the GENERAL TOPICS index and look at the topics under Sea Hares. Also go to the SPECIES LIST and look at the species listed in the ORDER ANASPIDEA.

If you wish to have species identified and have photographs, I am happy to put them on the Sea Slug Forum to see if anyone can identify them. Hopefully someone on the west coast of North America with a knowledge of the east Atlantic Sea Hares will contact you directly.

If you have any photos or information you would like to share with the many opisthobranch workers who visit the Forum regularly, or questions you would like to ask, they would be very welcome.

Best wishes
Bill Rudman.
