On a cloudy day a little more than a week ago Riho went into the seven degrees water in Northwestern Estonia to test a new camera. The film came to be mostly about the stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) but some algae were recorded too. And as suits late autumn there was also a moon or common jellyfish (Aurelia aurita).
A red alga, Ceramium tenuicorne, can be seen in the beginning of the video. Of green algae we can see Mermaid’s tresses (Chorda filum) and the Bladder wrack (Fucus vesiculosus).
