'Hedgehog' amphipod sampled on the DFO-Quebec northern Gulf of St. Lawrence bottom trawl survey. MLI museum no. 12471 / Un amphipode « hérisson » échantillonné dans le cadre du relevé au chalut de fond du nord du golfe du Saint-Laurent du MPO-Québec. Collection IML no. 12471. z = -87 m.
Fishes and invertebrates sampled during the 2022 DFO multispecies survey in Baffin Bay and Davis Strait (NAFO Subarea 0). z = -1299 m. MLI museum no. 12285.
10 mm long. 2nd image shows as found, floating on surface of a low intertidal pool.
Counted ten individuals. So cool!!
Three individuals, 7 to 10 mm long, with their egg masses on Obelia, collected from New Harbor on 4 April.
The 3rd image shows an egg mass laid on 9 April, with two of its encapsulated zygotes (95 microns in diameter, in capsules 182 x 129 microns) shown in the last image. Easter eggs!
6 mm long crawling. Sac-shaped egg mass (3rd image) 0.9 mm wide. Zygote (4th image) 85 microns in diameter, shown with three mostly clear polar bodies in an egg capsule measuring 143 x 110 microns; a still swimming spermatozoon is visible at upper right in this image.
With its predator, the nudibranch Onchidoris muricata.

Amphipods collected from a DFO survey program in Beaufort Sea.
Being fed upon by presumed C. verrucosa
Discovered when cleaning a tank at institute, presumably came in from the seawater intake.
Not great with juvenile salmonids — need confirmation
Not native to the shores of Massachusetts…but apparently this one found its way up:)

embedded in cement?? or silt? contemporary or fossil? found various times in the Rockaways.

On underside of a boulder in a low intertidal pool. Fairly common at this site.
Found as is, in a low intertidal pool. 3rd image shows them swimming in a tide pool.
I think this one is the same species that I observed a few days ago in a tide pool on Pemaquid Point: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/122361424
The last image shows entoprocts found under the same rock as these Ancula gibbosa and likely their prey.

Only individual of this species I found this morning.
5 mm long; spotted floating in a tide pool (2nd image). A second individual, 4mm long (4th image), was in the same pool. I was stoked to finally find this species!
Dug from subtotal sand. Collected six of these while looking for burrowing anemones. Not sure what they are. Remind me of Pinnixa
Juvenile redfish observed on a DFO Quebec Region scallop survey.
I found 10 of these, 2 to 4 mm long, on a very fine, filamentous green alga in a shallow, high intertidal rocky pool amongst patchy salt marsh.
Specimens match Gould's (1870) description and illustrations of this species (as Calliopaea fuscata) from Boston Harbor.
Eggs at the bottom of a shallow pool, with a sample in a vial shown close-up in the 2nd image and a sample at the bottom of a plastic dish in the 3rd image. For scale, the markings on the bottom of the dish in the 3rd image are shown next to a mm scale in the last image. The eggs were therefore approximately 0.15 mm, or 150 microns, in diameter.
ID based on color, size of eggs, and proximity of spawning males.
Spotted swimming mid-day in water a few inches deep.
