Nudibranchs and Related Molluscs

A Museum Victoria field guide

Nudibranchs, the 'butterflies of the sea', belong to a group that includes bubble shells, sea hares, side-gilled slugs, sap-sucking slugs and sea butterflies (pteropods). This group encompasses some of the most beautiful, colourful and delicate of all marine creatures. More than 400 species of nudibranchs occur in south-eastern Australia.

This guide introduces marine naturalists, divers, biologists and others to the nudibranchs and related molluscs commonly encountered in the Bass Strait region – their identification, biology, and associations with other plants and animals.

In Museum Victoria Field Guide: Nudibranchs and Related Molluscs, introductory pictorial key is included, along with nearly 250 species descriptions accompanied by colour photographs and illustrations to aid recognition. Further references and a glossary are also included.
