A (perhaps junk but thanks anyway) email from "Russ" went thuss:

Hi Brian,

Thought you might be interested in this fathead (genus Psychrolutes)
trawled during the NORFANZ expedition:

Or, for a for a full range of fish info:

Thanks

These links plug into what strike me as being excellent educational resources. Many a child might learn a lot rootling around in these kinds of virtual locations.

You absorb a mass of good stuff by such wandering, such as spelling, the way different species are classified, the use of the letters of the alphabet in a set order (something often forgotten) to organise and present information and to make it easily accessible, and much much more.

Above all, if you like this kind of thing, it's fun. I quickly found my way to extraordinary images like this one.

And remember also to eat fish.
