Book excerpt: This book showcases possibly the first ever comprehensive nudibranch survey along the Dauin coastline in the Philippines! Authors and photographers Justin Carmack and Finn Snow started documenting every nudibranch species they could find in 2021, along the coast of Negros Oriental; primarily Dauin. During this time they were able to capture around 300 incredible nudibranch species, many of which had never been seen there, and half of which have never been described by science. They even found one species that is possibly a brand new discovery! This book doesn't just showcase incredible nudibranch species with amazing photography, it also covers species of pleurobranchs, polybranchs, seahares and marine flatworms; all close relatives to the nudibranch, and just as colorful and interesting. In these 345 pages, you are guaranteed to see something you've never seen before, as well as be awed by the incredible photography these divers were able to achieve. But this isn't just an ordinary photo book. It also contains tons of scientific findings and observations, excerpts from marine biologists, and even stories of certain nudibranchs that were elusive and hard to finally find and photograph. This book covers it all. And if you were thinking of coming to the Philippines to see amazing critters, and didn't know where to go, after reading this book you are guaranteed to want to catch that next flight to Dauin. In fact, the authors didn't just cover Dauin, during their nudibranch species survey. Included in this book are species from all over the island of Negros Oriental, such as Dumaguete, Bacong, Zamboanguita, Siaton, Apo Island, and Basay. So whether you just want to see some amazing nudibranch species that you probably never knew existed, or you want to see what lives under the seas of Negros, or, maybe, you justt want to follow the journey of Justin Carmack and Finn Snow as they discover more and more locations and critters...Then this book is just what you need. About the authors: Justin Carmack and Finn Snow both run their own popular YouTube channels, named Critter Hunter and Finn Snow, where, via video, they document SCUBA diving locations and the critters they find under the waves. This naturally lead to their first book, where they found around 300 species of nudibranch, to create the most comprehensive scientific survey ever done in Negros Oriental of the Philippines. They are still based in Dauin, working on the second edition, which will have even more awesome species.
Download or read book Nudibranch Sea Slug Identification written by Terrence Gosliner and published by New World Publidcations. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2015 three leading scientific experts on nudibranchs and sea slugs collaborated to produce a comprehensive guide for divers and scientists to the Indo-Pacific region. After only three years, Nudibranch and Sea Slug Identification Indo-Pacific has sold out and become outdated due to the discovery of new species and numerous changes to the taxonomy of these organisms. On 1 November 2018, a new 2nd Edition will be realeased -- updated and reorganised, including 185 new species. Among other features, the new edition includes additional photographs of species, an identification key, and an up-to-date classification. The Indo-Pacific represents the largest expanse of tropical ocean in the world, stretching from the Indian Ocean coast of southern Africa and the Red Sea to the central Pacific of the Hawaiian Islands, Easter Island and the Marquesas. This region supports the most diverse marine fauna of any place in the world for most groups of marine organisms. The nudibranchs and sea slugs are no exception to this rule; there are about 3,000 described species of these organisms in the world and at least 40% of these have been found exclusively in the Indo-Pacific tropics. This book illustrates 2,138 Indo-Pacific nudibranchs and sea slugs, including many undescribed species.
Download or read book Dive into Taiwan written by Simon Pridmore and published by Simon Pridmore. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taiwan is a Pacific island – actually several islands: a big one and some smaller satellites – surrounded by warm tropical seas. It is easily accessible, has excellent transportation and is a first-world society with out-going, friendly, laid-back people. Especially in the south and on several of the outlying islands, there is some very good scuba diving and also a network of dive centres and resorts with first-class professional staff and equipment. They provide services for a young generation of Taiwanese, who are driving development in the sport with considerable enthusiasm. Yet, when divers elsewhere in the world think about diving destinations, Taiwan is rarely even a blip on their radar screen. Very few people outside Taiwan have ever thought to enquire about the diving there, and very few people inside Taiwan have ever thought to tell anyone about it. Until now... In Dive into Taiwan, Simon Pridmore unveils the underwater secrets of these islands and guides you around expertly, making sure you travel easily, dine well and appreciate the unique culture and traditions of Taiwan as well as its marine treasures. This is the first English-language guide to diving the reefs and wrecks of hitherto unknown locations such as Penghu, Xiaoliuqiu, Hengchun, Lanyu (Orchid Island), Ludao (Green Island) and Taiwan’s Northeast Coast and places them firmly on the international diving map. Authoritative, well written and beautifully illustrated by Taiwanese photographer Kyo Liu’s superb underwater images, Dive into Taiwan opens the door to a new and exciting destination for travelling divers.
