Stuart is a 40 years (plus) IT Engineer by trade and lives in the town of Livingston in the country of Scotland which is a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Yes, Stuart is a Scotsman and has been know to wear his kilt outside even when it's not a wedding.

He lives with his wonderful wife, Lesley Halliday, who is a librarian by trade and so knows books like you would never believe. She puts up with his various Aquariums around the house and mostly forgives him for bringing in strange aquatic creatures to share their home.

Stuart started this web site in 2004 as he realised that though there were various web sites on the Notostracan creatures, most web sites were several years old, hardly updated and there wasn't a central site containing all the necessary information on these fascinating animals.

His goal in life is simply to gather and share knowledge and most importantly - Do as little harm as possible whilst on this planet.
