Special mission mediterranean Spiny Lobster

It is late August and Summer is the period in which many marine organisms prepare for procreation. We have therefore decided to reach a deep Mediterranean coral reef, over 7 miles from the coast. The procreation have pushed these crustaceans to gather at the same time and in the same place. Procreation, in fact, occurs at the end of the Summer and in the Winter the larvae are born, which immediately reach the seabed that will host them for the rest of their lives.

Peltodoris atromaculata Reproduction

When we explore our underwater reefs we are often amazed by the number of species that we find in a few square meters and as in this case even in a few square centimeters. We have said it many times that biodiversity makes a habitat and an ecosystem more stable, solid and long-lasting. Often we fail to realize the quantity of different species that live next to each other and obviously it is almost impossible to know and recognize them all.
