Grey Triggerfish - Photos from a dive at Hen and Chicks, Little Haven, 4th October 1997

Description

Kevin Hawke is a keen diver and Living Seas Wales volunteer. These images were taken during a dive at Hen and Chicks, Little Haven, on the 4th of October 1997. For full details of the dive, please see: https://www.peoplescollection.wales/items/1364766.

Kevin explained that: "Trigger fish would regularly appear late summer until Oct/Nov when they would start to deteriorate, and it was assumed they died. Around this time, we usually only saw about six to ten trigger fish and they would usually hide in the rocks. Over the years the numbers increased significantly, and they would also be found on Borough Head closer to Little Haven. Divers from other clubs started feeding the trigger fish by breaking open sea urchins and they became much easier to see. They would swim toward divers and stay out in open water, rather than hiding."
