26/10/2004: "No Endangered Species .......blubber-lip"
On this coral reef off Cooktown, one fish is left alone. Everything else is gone. All the coral trout, sweetlip, cod and wrasse - gone. The 'blubber-lip' has the place to himself. Not a fast swimmer, an easy target too. The big fellow (pictured above) is shown, relaxed and feeding; he swallows mouthfulls of sand which pass out the gills. Somehow whatever is worth eating is retained - clever. Whatever, it has an effect on the flesh. This fish is not worth catching, spearing or cooking.
