Aliens


By Jamal Moss, NOAA Fisheries, on the Northwest Explorer

We captured a few of the Phronima Hyperrid amphipods on which the creature from the Aliens movie are based. One of the specimens captured was a momma surrounded by her brood. She was surprisingly similar to one in the movie and almost as scary when viewed under the microscope.
