PORTFOLIO

In one of the allegedly civilised countries of the world – the USA – the native river fishes are seriously threatened. We look at the species involved and the reasons behind this hidden crisis.

ELECTRIC FISHES

Fishes are the only vertebrates that make and use electricity. Research has expanded our knowledge of their utilisation of electroreceptors, and macrophotography enables us to see the organs involved.

GOLDFISH

This popular fish has been cultured for over 2,000 years, andnumerous much-prized varieties developed. This report reveals its remarkable genetic potential.

THE ITALIAN RIVER CRAYFISH

Italian river crayfish are now limited in the wild to a small number of cool mountain streams. A unique underwater photographic record.

DRAGON FISH

Photos: John Dawes and others – Text: John Dawes
In south-east Asia there is a legend that the golden arawana has a dragon as one of its parents. This revered fish has been placed under protection, which conflicts with the fact that it is being bred commercially.

BLOSSOMING WATERPLANTS – part 1

Photos: Burkhard Kahl – Text: Burkhard Kahl and Heiko Bleher
Most plants have their leaves in air and contribute to our ecosystem. A small number of plants live under water. How do they cope and how was
their life history discovered?
