Jean-Gabriel continues his Fish Lab experiments with our breeding pairs of Maldivian and Clark’s Clownfish, with promising results.
He details the maturation of fish eggs and the development into larvae and juveniles, and has a memorable encounter beneath the waves with some gentle giants of the ocean …
We are pleased to welcome Jean-Gabriel to our Fish Lab, as the latest intern to join us at Marine Savers.
He will be learning about the national Sea Turtle Identification Database, and experimenting with our breeding programme for Maldivian and Clark’s Clownfish down in the Fish Lab.
Our volunteer Mark follows his passion for marine biology down to the fish lab, where he gets to work with our Clownfish sustainable breeding project.
Learn about our Maldivian and Clark’s Clownfish as they hatch from a clutch of tiny eggs, through a larval stage before developing into miniature ‘Nemo’ juveniles.
Catch up with Cath’s adventures at Kuda Huraa and enjoy her great marine life photos and fabulously fun video!
We also have news of ‘megafauna’ sightings from our guest excursions, and meet the Fish Lab clownfish in their new home out in the lagoon.
See how our Maldivian Clownfish are growing, learn about why Seahorses change colour and experience a rare encounter with one of the largest juveniles to be found in the ocean – a Whale Shark.
This month we are swimming in baby Clownfish, brewing gallons of phytoplankton ‘soup’ and trying to identify the creature from the blue lagoon !
We have some new arrivals here at the fish lab !
Take a close look at the larvae from our clownfish & boxer shrimp, and catch up with the latest on our new saltwater aquarium at Kuda Huraa.
