Dear Bill,
The attached two animals were found about 75 mm apart during a day dive on 4 August, 2002. Although not uncommon this is the first time I have seen this species in this particular loch.

Size: 35mm approx
Depth: 12 metres
Temp: 13 deg C
Dive Site: Lochside Cottages, Ballachulish, Loch Leven, Scotland.


Regards,
Jim A

Thanks Jim,
The branching of the terminal end of the digestive gland duct is very clear in these photos
Best wishes,
