  The Sea Slug Forum - Clione limacina
Clione limacina is a relatively common non-shelled (gymnosomatous) pteropod and appears to feed exclusively on species of the shelled (thecosomatous) pteropod genus Spiratella.
Clione limacina was previously considered to have a bipolar distribution but Gilmer and Lalli (1990) show many internal and external differences between northern and southern hemisphere populations and consider the southern populations should be considered a distinct species, C.

 Atkin & Co. - Clione
Clione is her name -- after the astonishing little mollusk commonly known as the Sea Butterfly that spends its entire life on the water surface, never going ashore nor sinking to the sea's bottom.
Her freeboard at the bow is 3 feet 11 inches; at the stern 2 feet 11 inches; at the lowest point 2 feet 4 1/2 inches.
Below deck Clione is laid out for the comfortable accommodation of a party of three, if short cruises are contemplated; but for two if a long voyage or living aboard is planned.

 Integrative and Comparative Biology: Cellular Mechanisms Underlying Swim Acceleration in the Pteropod Mollusk Clione ...
The pteropod mollusk Clione limacina swims by dorsal-ventral flapping movements of its wing-like parapodia.
Typically, Clione swim nearly continuously to maintain a stable position in the water column and avoid sinking due to negative buoyancy.
The Clione swim system uses many of the general mechanisms underlying locomotor speed changes including: 1) increases in limb cycle frequency, 2) increases in force of limb muscle contraction, and 3) changes in biomechanical properties of the locomotor system (Sillar et al., 1997).

 American Zoologist: Mechanisms of locomotory speed change: The pteropod solution
Clione is able to produce subtle swim accelerations during slow swimming that do not involve an increase in CPG cycle frequency or recruitment of general excitor motoneurons (Satterlie and Norekian, 1996).
For example, in Clione, fast swimming is used as an aversive (escape) mechanism, during food acquisition behavior, and during egg-laying behavior.
In Clione, swimming is a nearly continuous background activity, at least during major parts of the diurnal cycle.

The pteropod mollusk, Clione limacina, continuously swims (upward) with wing-like appendages to maintain their position in the water column.
Clione are anesthetized in a 1:1 mixture of isotonic magnesium chloride and sea water before beginning an experiment.
Furthermore, discrepancies in diameter between the vesicles measured in the identified general excitor motoneuron and those previously characterized by Neal (1988) may be attributed to necessary differences in fixation protocol.

When the hungry clione nears its prey, it undergoes a hideous and sudden transformation that is sure to leave you with a lasting impression.
Actually, the clione’s size (imagine a small paperclip) made them kind of difficult to see, and they were contained in two waist-high tanks (for the kids), one on either side of a busy doorway.
The clione swims by flapping its “wings” (parapodia), which are essentially modified versions of the feet of its gastropod cousins.

Clione limacina is a polar species; those found in warmer waters are far smaller.
Some species of sea angel feed exclusively on sea butterflies; the angels have terminal mouths with the radula common to mollusks, and tentacles to grasp their prey, sometimes with suckers similar to cephalopods.
Another large polar species of sea angel, Clione antarctica, defends itself from predators by synthesizing a previously unknown molecule, named pteroenone.

An advantage of Clione for such kind of studies is that it, being a gastropod mollusc with a "simpler" nervous system, exhibits rather complex behaviour, swimming in 3-dimentional space.
Depending on the water temperature Clione takes the orientation head up (at lower water temperature) or head-down (at higher temperature) to move to a layer with a suitable temperature.
An impression is that Clione "scans" a surrounding space to catch the prey.

Opposite reactions were observed in the motoneurons responsible for the wing retraction.
A presumed motor effect of these reactions is an increase of oscillations in the wing that is directed downwards, and turning of Clione towards the head-up orientation.

The clione has a strong, muscular body, which can be divided into two parts — the head and the trunk.
When the clione encounters a spiratella, it opens its mouth (its head appears to split open) and thrusts out six tentacles, called baccal cones (Photo 1).
