Desert fishing lessons

I’m a water person, a river person, a fish person. I spend an
inordinate amount of my time grubbing around in the bottom
of muddy waterholes and rivers, thinking about the why and
how of fish that live in particular areas. It wasn’t planned, it just
happened. I’ve always been fascinated by how living things get
by on the planet, but this interest has manifested itself in the
mysterious world of things living under water. And this fascination
has narrowed further over the years, and now focuses on
fishy things within the driest bits of the driest inhabited planet
on Earth. Fish and deserts are unusual bedfellows, but that’s the
way it is.
