Benjamin Hayt’s Photo Portfolio

This gallery brings together photographs from my personal interests and activities. My work and interests span marine research, koi, tortoises, and aquatic systems.

For a detailed account of my current graduate research at the National Aplysia Resource, visit my Aplysia cell culture research page. I am developing primary cultures from somatic tissue and embryos to support research on Aplysia abyssovirus.

For koi and tortoise updates, follow BenHaytKoi on Instagram, Ben Hayt Koi on Facebook, or Threads.

For a practical companion to the pond photographs, explore my koi observation guide and printable journal.
