Description: Photographic study by Jean-Marie Cavanihac of the Arrow Worm.
by Jean-Marie Cavanihac, France The first time I saw a chaetognath, it was in a sample I had taken from algae floating in the Mediterranean Sea and I was astonished by its formidable predatory behaviour. I didn't know its name then, and I had nicknamed it 'Voracious Fish'. It was caught earlier in Spring and at the time only a few specimens were present. Some months later, I have found many more of them but their sizes were the same; between two and four millimeters long. Since then, I have learned its common name: arrow worm, given because of the elongated shape.
