More BRUV footage with unexpected species. Following that Atlantic salmon, here we have a pair of common squid (Loligo vulgaris) gliding in front of the camera. The footage is part of our ongoing study of fish utilisation of seaweed farms but as it happens there is a #seagrass meadow nearby.

Jury's out if Atlantic salmon can be regarded as using kelp farms has habitat but this guy passed closed enough to one of our baited cameras to deserve being added to our fishy list. Wait until you see the next interloper, it has tentacles!
Oh, and happy #PhycologyFriday (because it's sugar kelp).
