Résumé
A biologist searches for a solution that will save many fish species from life-threatening dams. His adventures take him from a fisheries patrol boat on the Fraser River to the great Tsukiji fish market in Japan, with stops in the… Philippines, Thailand, and assorted South American countries. Portrays fishermen, fish farmers, and even fish cops in a new light, as well as scientists, shysters, and some very drunk, hairy Brazilian men in thongs. Some strong language, some descriptions of sex, and some descriptions of violence. c2008.
