Cuttlefish eggs

(Edited)

Since we were repairing and painting the ship, we left the net on the dock for two months. One wire rope was in the water the whole time

Cuttlefish took the opportunity and laid her eggs on the net rope

when it came out of the water a few of them separated from the bunch so it looks to me and I opened it to see what was inside. The damaged black berry itself would not survive, it would be food for some fish anyway.

I cleaned the rope but I arranged them in water where they can develop further, at least I hope that they will be able to cure new young cuttlefish.
