Rudolf Svensen Black goby (Gobius niger) eats sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus). The whole thing happened very fast and I managed two shots before the sand goby was gone. Nikon D300 in Subal housing, two Subtronuc flashes, manual setting, f11, 1/250 , iso 200. Image captured during a night dive in Norway.
Alistair Merrifield Great timing - you are lucky to come across behaviour like this!
Chris Barrett Does anyone have any information on the author A.M.Wiederholm? He/she seems to have done a lot of goby studies. What I'm really after, is whether this person is male or female! Thank you in advance
Marco Faasse Her name is Anne-Marie (A.-M.) Wiederholm.
Chris Barrett Wondeful! Thank you Marco :)
Chris Barrett *wonderful :P
Andy HortonPomatoschistus minutus and P. microps have fascinated me since back in about 1982. I see them on the shore but not so often both at the same time and if I did P. microps was to be found in shallow sandy pools further up the shore than P. minutus. In aquaria P. minutus lived for up to 18 months and P. microps up to 15 months.
