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.

It is designed for divers, underwater photographers. The book presents 1060+ species nudibranchs that can be found and photographed in depths and regions accessible to recreational diving. Photographs, showing color variations and age differences are included. A lot of species covered by this guide have never before appeared in field guides or popular books.

Nudibranchs or sea slugs occur throughout the world’s oceans and are present in many marine habitats. The greatest diversity of species is found in the Indo-Pacific tropics with a concentration of species within the Coral Triangle (CT), encompassing the waters of six Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Malaysia, Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands. This global epicenter of marine biodiversity covers only 1.6 percent of the planet’s oceanic area, but attracts an increasing number of divers and underwater photographers, including nudibranch lovers.

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 Operation Rising Sun written by David W. Jourdan and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944 Allied codebreakers learned the Imperial Japanese Navy had dispatched the cargo submarine I-52 to occupied France with tons of military supplies and payment--in gold--for German assistance. I-52 undertook the mission as part of the Yanagi missions, a military program meant to alleviate Japan's desperate need for military material and technical knowledge. After tracking I-52 from Asia to the Atlantic, the Allies destroyed the vessel in a battle that ended the Yanagi missions and left I-52 an unlikely treasure ship on the seafloor. David W. Jourdan adds to the history of I-52 with a spellbinding account of his efforts to find the sunken submarine. One of the first joint American-Russian research expeditions, the search for the wreck combined a team effort, exhaustive detective work, and a dramatic battle with the sea. The effort paid off when the group found I-52's nearly intact hull three miles down. The expedition also earned an unexpected historical dividend when it uncovered one-of-a-kind recordings of American Avenger torpedo bomber attacks on an enemy submarine. Part war tale and part seagoing adventure, Operation Rising Sun tells the story of the two very different missions to find submarine I-52.
