This week in Fish: First Black Marlin

By: Mark McGrouther, Category: Science, Date: 26 Nov 2010

This week we feature an historic image of the first marlin caught on hook and line.  We show an amusing photo of staff moving polydrums.  Of course there are plenty of images of fishes, both from the collection and underwater.  Thanks to all.
