European anchovy had been being caught by boats in Mounts Bay, Cornwall for a number of weeks, and were quite plentiful.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
