Doriopsilla areolata and its egg-ribbons

July 3, 2003
From: Marina Poddubetskaia

Dear Bill,
You have already photos of Doriopsilla areolata from Dakar on the Forum. Here are some more photos: an animal laying eggs and some egg-ribbons. In Senegal this species is really common in shallow waters and related egg-ribbons are as numerous as animals.

Location : Dakar, Senegal, Eastern Atlantic
Site: Cap Manuel, May 29, 2003. Depth: 5-6m
Size: Animals ranged in size from 25-30mm
Photos: Marina Poddubetskaia - Nembro website

Cordially,
Marina.

Dear Marina,
Thanks for this interesting series of photos. I will have to check my records for photos of the egg ribbon of the Indo-West Pacific species D. miniata, because the more I see of the Atlantic species the more alike they seem. I have copied a photo of the cluster of animals together into a second message to illustrate some of the colour variation.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
