Littorina(Melarhaphe)neritoides(Montagu) is stated by Tattersall to be viviparous. Living usually above high-water mark, often withLittorina saxatilis(L. rudisin Plymouth Marine Fauna 1931, Marine Biological Association), it would seem at first sight that free-swimming larvæ would be useless.L. saxatilisis truly viviparous and provided with a special pouch for its young which crawl out as small individuals similar to the parent. Tattersall (1908, 1909, 1920) when he discovered the planktonic egg-capsules ofL. littorea(Caullery and Pelseneer (1910) having described them at almost exactly the same time) then regardedL. neritoidesas viviparous. He has, however, kindly sent me the statement given below. Following him many workers have also declared that this species is viviparous (Flatteley and Walton, 1922, Colman 1933 Russell, 1934 and others). It is now possible to show that, not only is it not viviparous but it lays planktonic capsules very similar to those ofL. littorea.

North Side

Two species of Lima are known from Plymouth: Lima hians (Gmelin), the commonest species, inhabiting small patches of stones with muddy gravel at extreme low-tide mark on the north side of the Breakwater, where many individuals may be found together, and Lima loscombi Sowerby, found on the coarse grounds west of the Eddystone, Rame-Eddystone Grounds, Mewstone Grounds, Stoke Point Grounds and southwest of the Eddystone (see Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Fauna, 1931). The latter is a much smaller species than the former, not so highly coloured, and much rarer. Although it is often difficult to obtain Lima hians, as it is only accessible at very low tides, it occurs in numbers in the locality cited.

The present notes (see also Wilson, 1949, 1953) are mainly concerned with the breeding habits of two fishes commonly kept in marine aquaria. These habits may be familiar to keepers of other large marine aquaria, but I have failed to find any account of them in scientific literature other than a very brief and inadequate description by Raffaele (1898, p. 328) of the nesting of Cantharus vulgaris (= Spondyliosoma cantharus) in the aquarium at Naples. The scientific names of species mentioned follow the Plymouth Marine Fauna third edition (Marine Biological Association, 1957)

Limacina retroversa (Flem.) has been known in the Channel for over twenty-seven years and was several times recorded by Gough (1907) and Bygrave (1911) in the plankton reports (see Marine Biological Association, Plymouth Marine Fauna, 1931, p. 265), both from inshore and from outside. In recent years the more frequent collecting in the waters round Plymouth has shown that it may be present throughout the year, although much the most abundant in summer. Not only is it found in the outside waters but it is also often present in the Sound and even at the mouths of the estuaries.

Series Of Experiments

In the years 1921 and 1922 a series of experiments on the rearing and hatching of the species of Rays and Skates occurring on the English side of the western end of the English Channel was carried out at the Laboratory of the Marine Biological Association, Plymouth. The egg-capsules were collected from fish landed at the Barbican at Plymouth and from fish captured by the Research steamers, Oithona and Salpa. The egg-capsules were kept in the circulation of sea-water in the tanks at the Laboratory, and for six species the period of incubation under these artificial conditions was determined.

The Plymouth Marine Fauna (Marine Biological Association, 1957) list of monogenean parasites of fishes has been increased from 39 to 58 species and in addition 2 species have been recorded from a cephalopod host. The increase in listed species represents an increased ‘parasitological effort’ rather than an influx of new species into Plymouth waters.

The investigation of the trawling-grounds in Start Bay, Torbay, and Teignmouth Bay, which had been previously investigated in 1895–8 by Messrs. Stead and Holt, was resumed by the Marine Biological Association in 1901, under authority from the Devon Sea Fisheries Committee.

Provisional Identification

In September 1992 a blue runner (Caranx crysos) (37 cm) was caught off Portland Harbour, Dorset, by an angler. Initially the specimen was not recognized as a rarity and it was damaged while being prepared as bait for a lobster pot. Fortunately it was retrieved and sent to the Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAFF) laboratory at Lowestoft where it was identified. In August 1993, a second blue runner (29 cm), (see Figure 1) was hand-lined in St Ives Bay, Cornwall by Mr Astrinsky, of Penzance. It was also taken to a MAFF office, at Newlyn, for identification where one of the authors made a provisional identification before sending it to the British Marine Fishes Database at the Marine Biological Association for final verification. These two fishes are the first records of the blue runner C.crysosfrom British waters, and represent a northerly extension to its range.
