Acoels from "pockmarks"
October 2012. Back at The Sven Lovén center for marine sciences at Kristineberg on the Swedish West coast waiting for samples from the off shore site "Bratten", which has a "pockmark" topography, i.e. consisting of small pits that collect fine sediment. At the moment we are waiting for the gale to die down.
Field trip to Chile
In November I spent three weeks in Madang,
northern Papua New Guinea, as part of the Biodiversity Expedition 2012/2013. My
main goal was to find Nemertodermatida, which have been recorded around on Wongat
island in the Madang Lagoon in 1996 by Wolfgang Sterrer (Sterrer 1998). In this
expedition up to four sampling tours were organized (morning, afternoon,
evening, night) using scuba diving, snorkelling and dredging.
