“The sea mouse is actually a polychaete which is a type of marine segmented worm.”

When is a ‘mouse’ really a worm?
Photo: Sherie Gee
As soon as the dredge is up on the platform and all of the organisms are lying on the platform, the scientists head out with their rubber work boots, foul weather pants, and life jackets. They grab two orange baskets, some white buckets and a smaller plastic container. Everyone stands at the edge of the platform and starts sorting out the organisms. The pace of sorting is fast and furious as the scientists are quickly placing the organisms in these baskets and buckets. The organisms are sorted out into sea scallops, small skates, fish, and all other organisms. This "sea mouse" is actually a polychaete, which is a type of marine segmented worm." - Sherie GeeRead the blog post
