Dear Conch-lers,

I have added little information on my website about the trawling trip.
I've also rationalized the photos using pics in the main page: in this way loading time should be less and you can enjoy photos clicking on the pics.

I had some problems while sorting a small sample of deep water mud found in a bottle taken by the trawl.
I used a very fine metal mesh (0,5 mm), but mud always tended to create agglomerates which hid the small shells.  Moreover, the mesh was probably not fine enough for the tiny bivalves present.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Paolo
