In this close-up view of a small tide pool , Morrison found the flourishing barnacle species Semibalanus balanoides ( yellow ) , along with dark specks of blue mussel called Mytilus edulis and a Fucus rockweed species peeking out from the center of the water .

Mytilus: イガイ属、ミュティルス属、ミチルス属、Mytilus属

These are the three most common marine organisms found on the New England shores , says University of Maine marine sciences professor Susan Brawley .


The best times to uncover these small environments are during the low tides of the spring's full and new moons .
