Collecting Amphipods in the Long Island Sound

[Paul B]

You can't see it well in the video but after I lift a rock, I just rub my hand over the bottom of the rock, and the amphipods stick to my hand. When I want a lot more amphipods, I bring a larger bucket and swirl the rocks in the bucket. That way I get them all.

These things make great scavengers and food. They also reproduce in a tropical tank

was that a merman captured on video?

 

[Paul B]

No, just a bald, retired electrician

 

[Tired]

Oh, neat!

Ever wind up putting a hand on a crab or whatnot?

 

[Paul B]

There are crabs under about half the rocks. They just run away. Sometimes I find a baby eel.
