 ELASMOBRANCHS

Not just Shark Pictures: Elasmodiver contains photos of sharks, skates, rays, and chimaera's from around the world. It began as a simple web based field guide to help divers find the best places to encounter different species of sharks and rays but it has slowly evolved into a much larger project containing information on all aspects of shark diving and photography. There are now more than a thousand shark pictures  and sections on shark evolution, biology, and conservation. There is a large library of reviewed shark books, a constantly outdated shark taxonomy page, a monster list of shark links, and deeper in the site there are numerous articles and stories about shark encounters. Elasmodiver is now so difficult to check for updates, that new information and pictures are listed on an Elasmodiver Updates Page that can be accessed here:

STUBBY SQUID PICTURES - IMAGES OF ROSSIA PACIFICA

The stubby squid (Rossia pacifica) is a type of bobtail squid that lives off the Pacific Coast of North America. Bobtail squid are actually more closely related to cuttlefish than squids or octopuses.

It is a tiny animal that is best observed by swimming along the sand at night while pointing a flash light directly downwards. Stubby squids are about the size of a small plum. They burrow into the sand with the tops of their purple heads exposed. With a little nudging they will swim upwards and present themselves to the camera.

These stubby squid pictures are available for commercial licensing. For further information regarding usage please e-mail Elasmodiver: elasmodiver@gmail.com

 

 

These stubby squid pictures - Rossia pacifica - were taken around southern Vancouver Island.
