Soon there will be spawn! This female (no prizes for guessing she's the one underneath) is full of eggs. The male clings to her (this is called "amplexus") so that when she spawns he can release his sperm onto her eggs before another male does. Just remember that when you're drinking some fresh pond water in spring!
La Factoria Marítima Basca Albaola és un museu viu, ubicat en una antiga drassana renovada situada a Pasai San Pedro.
Construït a Pasaia, el balener San Juan és un exemple dels primers vaixells de càrrega transoceànics que salpaven del País Basc cap a Terranova. Amb 30 metres d'eslora era run eflex de l'esplendor i hegemonia mundial de la indústria marítima basca i es va enfonsar a la costa de Canadà, a Red Bay l'any 1565.
Més de 400 anys després l'equip d'arqueologia canadenca de Parcs Canada troba les restes i el investiguen en una excavació submarina exemplar per al món de l'arqueologia marítima. Després de més de trenta anys d'estudi, és el vaixell mercant del segle XVI que millor es coneix i s'ha convertit en la icona que simbolitza el patrimoni cultural subaquàtic de la UNESCO.
Dins de la Capitalitat Cultural Europea Donostia 2016 i amb el suport científic del Govern de Canadà, es torna a construir la nau San Juan a Pasaia, seguint els mètodes tradicionals. Igual que unia Europa amb Amèrica al segle XVI, la nau San Juan permetrà als dos països navegar cap al futur a partir d'un passat compartit.
Soon there will be spawn! This female (no prizes for guessing she's the one underneath) is full of eggs. The male clings to her (this is called amplexus) so that when she spawns he can release his sperm onto her eggs before another male does. Just remember that when you're drinking some fresh pond water in spring! They were about 1 and 1/2 feet beneath the surface (50 cm or so).
Si la conquête des profondeurs a été essentiellement faite par des léviathans subaquatiques dans la lignée du premier Nautilus, la plupart de ces vaisseaux appartenaient à des particuliers ou à des associations privée, et leur construction et leur usage avaient pour jet d'échapper aux contraintes d'un état de surface. Dans cette mesure, leurs inventeurs étaient dans l'ensemble peu enthousiastes pour faire profiter quelque entité officielle que ce soit de l'étincelle de génie qui présidait à leurs créations. Cela explique pourquoi la plupart des marines, toutes désireuses qu'elles fussent d'affirmer leur souveraineté sur les domaines sous-marins, devaient se reposer sur des modèles plus petits et moins innovants, par les ingénieurs qui conservaient une certaine fidélité à l'idée de nation. Le Sept de Coeur, dont l'histoire tarabiscotée implique certains des espions et des voleurs les plus célèbres de son temps, est un des essais les plus aboutis de cette époque.

If the conquest of the deep was mainly made by subaquatic behemoths in the continuity of the first Nautilus, most of these ships were owned by individuals or private associations, and were built and operated in order to evade the contingencies of a surface state. As such, their inventors were usually very reluctant to share the spark of genius that moved them with any official entity. This explains why most navies, as eager as they could be to claim some sovereignty over the submarine realms, had to rely on smaller and less innovative designs by engineers who retained faith in the idea of nation. The Seven of Hearts, which twisted history involved some of the most famous thieves and spies of its time, is one of the most successful intents of this period.
Feather Star or Brown and white crinoid (Lamprometra palmata)
Crinoid Crab (Harrovia albolineata)

Live shell has a substantial light brown periostracum which is raised into many slightly waved, spiral ridges.
The periostracum reduces translucency of live specimens so the viscera are only faintly discernible (See also fig. 04 flic.kr/p/2gdwYwJ ) . The white, apical protoconch lacks a periostracum.
Shell height 10 mm. ELWS, Gairloch, north-west Scotland, May 2019. Leg. D. McKay & S. Taylor.

GLOSSARY below.
Shell description
In Britain, the shell height is commonly about 10 mm 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd , with a usual maximum of 18 mm (McMillan, 1968) and extreme of 22 mm (D.W. McKay, in litt. 2019). Specimens from Greenland are larger and thicker than in Britain (Jeffreys, 1867). The shell depth (perpendicular distance from the summit of a living specimen to substrate), is about 50% of shell height (see 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd for illustration of dimension terms). The shell has thin walls and only two and a half rapidly-expanding, tumid whorls with the body whorl constituting the great majority of the shell. The sutures between the whorls are deep but obscured by the thick velvety periostracum on living specimens. The apical angle is wide with the apex often recessed into a depression making it almost involute 2Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwZh1 .
The slightly glossy, translucent, white or pinkish-white calcareous shell has a sculpture of many very fine growth lines crossed by many very fine, low spiral ridges, forming a faint reticulated pattern 2Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwZh1 . On live shells, these lines are concealed beneath the substantial light brown periostracum which is raised into many slightly waved, spiral ridges 3Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwHru . Occasionally, the periostracum is white (Telnes, 2019). The brown periostracum reduces the translucency of live specimens so the viscera are only faintly discernible 3Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwHru & 4Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwYwJ . The white, apical protoconch lacks a periostracum. Within 24 hours of drying, the periostracum loses the spiral ridges and shreds into bristle-like fragments 5Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwYds , and it readily flakes off. Consequently, strandline shells 2Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwZh1 usually have little or no periostracum and are white or pinkish white.
The aperture 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd is almost circular, about 90% of the shell-height, and about three times as large as visible whorls in apertural view. The palatal and columellar lips run into each other in a smooth curve; the parietal lip is very short but broader than the columellar lip. The adapical angle of the aperture is rounded. There is no umbilicus but on large older specimens the apex may protrude slightly, and the whorls are more loosely coiled; sometimes with the body whorl separating slightly from the columellar lip to give the false impression of an umbilical slit.
The external colour of a live shell is brown when the periostracum is present and translucent white or pinkish white when the periostracum is lost 5Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwYds ; pink being more frequent and intense in the south of its range. Internally, the shell is white or pinkish white, but appears brown when the external periostracum shows through it 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd . The large round aperture resembles that of limpets and, like them, V. velutina has no operculum to seal it.
Body description
The body is white 6Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwGBP , sometimes with a faint yellowish or pinkish hue (Jeffreys, 1867), varying in translucency in its different parts, with a very fine opaque white stipple most noticeable where translucency is strongest 7Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXyX . The mantle varies from white or cream to yellowish white with a fine, opaque, white stipple 7Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXyX (“frosted with white points” Fretter & Graham, 1978). The mantle edge is thickened by large, inflated, puckered, connective tissue cells 8Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXsz blocking the entrance to the mantle cavity, except for the inhalant and exhalant passages. The connective tissue may protrude beyond, but not reflect onto, the palatal lip (anterior of aperture of live specimen) 9Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwX4U . Usually, the mantle is reflected slightly onto only the columellar and parietal lips (posterior of aperture of live specimen). The flat head and its smooth, tapering cephalic tentacles are coloured as the body. The anterior of the head is widely truncated as it has no exterior snout, but the short yellow, inverted proboscis is sometimes visible within the semi-transparent head 10Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwFM2 . There is an eye on a basal swelling at the distal side of each cephalic tentacle. A white or yellowish penis 6Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwGBP, and 7Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXyX is located behind the right tentacle of all adults as, unusually for Caenogastropoda, the species is hermaphrodite.
The dorsal surface of the foot is coloured as the body, but the opaque stipple may be difficult to discern as the foot has weak translucency 11Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwWUa . When in motion on a flat surface, the unstippled white sole is ovate with a constriction close to the broadly curved anterior shaped like an axehead with flexible corners 8Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXsz . The foot readily folds transversely at the constriction. Through the inhalant and exhalant passages in the pallial connective tissue it is sometimes possible to partially see within the mantle cavity 12Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwrrG the ctenidium; the smaller, but similarly comb-shaped osphradium (misinterpreted as a second ctenidium in early works [Forbes & Hanley, 1853 and Jeffreys,1867]); the hypobranchial gland; and rectum. If the relaxed and killed animal is removed from the shell and the black pigment 13Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwrg6 rubbed off the translucent mantle, it should be possible to see 14Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwqXR & 15Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwVUp the ctenidium and osphradium, the right columellar muscle; the smaller left columellar muscle; the very extensive white hypobranchial gland lining the entire roof of the mantle cavity to the right of the ctenidium; the genital ducts; the rectum; the auricle and ventricle of the heart; and the ovotestes.
Key identification features
Velutina velutina
1) When live, white, or pinkish white, calcareous shell is covered, except apical protoconch, by substantial brown periostracum that is raised into spiral ribs 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd . Periostracum distorts when dry 5Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwYds .
2) When live, shell is weakly translucent and only indistinctly shows the viscera 4Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwYwJ & 16Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwVHc .
3) Aperture large and almost circular; about three times as large as visible whorls in apertural view 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd .
4) Columellar lip has no umbilicus or groove 1Vv flic.kr/p/2gdx1kd .(Gap between body whorl and aperture sometimes occurs on large old specimens and might be mistaken for umbilical groove).
5) Spire does not usually protrude beyond body whorl; apex often recessed into a depression 2Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwZh1 . Apex on large old shells may protrude slightly

7) Flesh translucent white with fine, opaque white stipple 6Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwGBP . Mantle white, cream and/or yellowish white 7Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwXyX .
Similar species
Velutina plicatilis (O. F. Müller, 1776)
1) Shell is horn coloured, made principally of thick, slightly hispid periostracum; not raised into spiral ribs. Flimsy, thin, white, interior calcareous layer readily flakes off when dry, leaving just the periostracum 20Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwUPJ .

6) When live and active, mantle may protrude very slightly, but is not reflected onto the shell 21Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwpr4 .
7) Flesh usually white, often with some yellow on snout, penis and parts of foot. Sometimes flesh is pink or whitish grey 21Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwpr4 .
Capulus ungaricus
1) When live, white, calcareous shell is covered, including apical protoconch, by substantial pale, straw-coloured periostracum which is raised into spiral ribs 23Vv flic.kr/p/2gepyX3 . Periostracum extends beyond aperture as fragments which form a fringe on adults.
2) When live, shell is weakly translucent.
3) Aperture large and almost circular with only the small curled spire visible in apertural view 25Vv flic.kr/p/2i3gDm7
4) Columellar lip has no umbilicus or groove.
5) Small, downward spirally coiled spire protrudes almost centrally from beyond body whorl. Apex not recessed into a depression, and turned slightly to the right of the animal 23Vv flic.kr/p/2gepyX3 & 25Vv flic.kr/p/2i3gDm7 .
7) Flesh yellowish with white speckles . Proboscis permanently extended (Graham, 1988).
8) Juveniles often found near open end of Pomatoceros tubes 24Vv flic.kr/p/2gepjfF ; adults near bivalves and Turritella, purloining food particles brought in by the hosts’ inhalant currents, or their pseudofaeces.
Habits and ecology
V. velutina lives mainly sublittorally to depths of 1000 metres Hayward & Ryland (1995) on hard substrate, especially shelly ground (Forbes & Hanley, 1853), where its unitary ascidian prey, Ascidia, Phallusia and Styela coriacea occur (Fretter & Graham, 1962). Rarely, live specimens are found at ELWS in northern Scotland.
Respiration is with inhalant water brought into the mantle cavity via a passage through the connective tissue by the left of the head 17Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwE6m . In the cavity, it first passes through the reddish osphradium 12Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwrrG which tests the water quality and probably removes large particles of detritus. It then passes through the dull yellow ctenidium which acquires oxygen from the water for the haemolymph (‘blood’) passing through it and releases carbon dioxide which passes with the water out of the animal via an exhalant passage through the connective tissue on the right side of the body. Locomotion is on the large foot lacking a medial dividing groove on the sole. When live, the foot usually remains in contact, limpet-like, with the substrate. V. velutina feeds by biting open the tough test of unitary ascidians to access the soft inner parts. The rectum and anus 12Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwrrG are near the exhalant passage where faeces exit the animal with the exhalant water. Clark in Jeffreys (1867) reported that it "discharges a very copious and tenacious clear white slime" which may have protective qualities. It may breed all year as veliger larvae have been seen in summer and autumn off Plymouth, S. England (Fretter and Graham, 1962), and mating at 3ºC and ova have been photographed in Norway in December and January . If breeding is triggered by temperature it is likely that it takes place at different dates at different levels of its great depth range in different geographical areas. Fretter and Graham (1962) considered it to be a simultaneous hermaphrodite. A photo of mating 18Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwVcs shows a couple lying head-on, foot to foot, on their left sides so their right-side genitalia are adjacent. In the photo, the massively engorged penis of only one of them can be seen to be penetrating the other. For oviposition, the radula cuts round holes a few mm from each other in the ascidian. The foot positions large, spherical pot-shaped egg capsules in the holes 19Vv flic.kr/p/2gdwDNh and 19.1Vv flic.kr/p/2oX6A8w. Only the transparent plug in the opening of the capsules is visible on the surface of the ascidian. Each capsule contains hundreds of unshelled ova in an albuminous fluid. The plug is freed from the opening for the planktonic bilobed veliger larvae to escape.
Distribution and status
V. velutina has a circumpolar distribution from the high Arctic southwards to Galicia, Spain; Cape Cod, Atlantic USA; San Diego, Pacific USA; and Japan. There are very few records from thwe continental coast of the southern North Sea. GBIF map www.gbif.org/species/2299230 . It occurs widely around Britain and Ireland where there is suitable hard substrate with ascidians. Most live records are sublittoral. Lttoral finds are usually dead, but there are some live littoral records from northern Scotland. There are few records, dead or alive, from the north-east Irish Sea, mid Wales, south-west England and between Kent and the Humber; Estuary.

With an extraordinary range of activities, workshops and events throughout the day at a number of landmark venues around the city centre, we want to inspire everyone to experience new art, and learn how to be more creative with the technology around them.
All events are FREE - some workshops have limited capacity, but you can sign up on the day on a first come first served basis. There's lots to see, so come early to the Winter Garden, pick up a schedule of events and a map, and start exploring!
*Calling digital makers, artists, scientists, designers, engineers and educationalists! - If you would like to get involved in exhibiting or helping with events at the Spring Fayre, for more information email info@lovebytes.org.uk.
Harmony. Explore the art of mathematics and make your own drawing using this bizarre and strange contraption. Harmony is a harmonograph, a mechanical apparatus that employs pendulums to create a geometric image. The drawings created typically are 'Lissajous curves', or related drawings of greater complexity.
"Walking past a blacksmiths one day, Pythagoras heard a familiar harmony in the ringing tones of the hammers at work inside. He discovered that the weights of the hammers were responsible for their relative notes. A hammer weighing half as much as another sounded a note twice as high."
Harmony - created and presented by Bird and Bee.
Placard Headphone Music Festival. Bring your own headphones and plug-in! Part of the Placard international network of headphone and internet streaming music events, this mini-music festival in the centre of the Winter Garden features quick fire performances by Sarah Angliss, Nice, John Moseley, Ron Wright, Yaxu, Ideoforms, Bile Laptop Ensemble, Deliberate + more TBC. Le Placard (meaning cupboard in French) began in a small apartment in Paris in 1998. It has since grown into an international streaming festival concept in cities across the world as part of festivals such as Mutek, Garage, Pixelache and now Lovebytes, thanks to Alex McLean (Yaxu) who has curated this programme. Bring your own headphones and plug-in from 11:00 to 12:40 and 13:40 to 15:20.

Creative Computing Workshops
Become a digital maker not just a consumer, make your own games and digital art by learning how to programme computers. With Scratch it's quick easy and fun, it's like programming with Lego and it's a great introduction to the fundamental principles of coding. You can doodle to your heart's content, add sounds, make buttons that do things and animate your drawings and photos. This is an open drop-in workshop with creative programmers on hand to help. If you are already using scratch bring your work along, we'd love to see what you've made.

Si la conquête des profondeurs a été essentiellement faite par des léviathans subaquatiques dans la lignée du premier Nautilus, la plupart de ces vaisseaux appartenaient à des particuliers ou à des associations privée, et leur construction et leur usage avaient pour jet d'échapper aux contraintes d'un état de surface. Dans cette mesure, leurs inventeurs étaient dans l'ensemble peu enthousiastes pour faire profiter quelque entité officielle que ce soit de l'étincelle de génie qui présidait à leurs créations. Cela explique pourquoi la plupart des marines, toutes désireuses qu'elles fussent d'affirmer leur souveraineté sur les domaines sous-marins, devaient se reposer sur des modèles plus petits et moins innovants, par les ingénieurs qui conservaient une certaine fidélité à l'idée de nation. Le Sept de Coeur, dont l'histoire tarabiscotée implique certains des espions et des voleurs les plus célèbres de son temps, est un des essais les plus aboutis de cette époque.

If the conquest of the deep was mainly made by subaquatic behemoths in the continuity of the first Nautilus, most of these ships were owned by individuals or private associations, and were built and operated in order to evade the contingencies of a surface state. As such, their inventors were usually very reluctant to share the spark of genius that moved them with any official entity. This explains why most navies, as eager as they could be to claim some sovereignty over the submarine realms, had to rely on smaller and less innovative designs by engineers who retained faith in the idea of nation. The Seven of Hearts, which twisted history involved some of the most famous thieves and spies of its time, is one of the most successful intents of this period.
