Fish eggs at TTN

Post by elemar »

A couple of shots of fish eggs from Three Tree on Sunday. A number of greenlings on eggs, but not sure who the parent of these was (no guard in sight).

Nice shots, Certainly looks like white spotted greenling eggs though it would be unusual to not have daddy around. It is possible that he tried to protect his eggs from the wrong fish. Lings do love some greenling

Thanks. I was relatively happy with it. Working on getting used to my new camera and starting to get comfortable with the differences. I did see a whitespotted greenling guarding a bunch of less-developed eggs elsewhere during the dive.

If this was the batch on the cabin cruiser, it looks like they are still there. I wonder what they are and when they will hatch. It can't be much longer now. This was taken last night on Jan 22.

The eggs at the cabin cruiser usually have a Kelp Greenling guarding them.

There can be a problem if no daddy is around. Sometimes the little guys need to be prodded a bit to get them to hatch and with no daddy around they my not break out in time.
