2025: SHOAL: Tiny Fishes: the miniature marvels that slip through the net
This report is built around the idea that tiny fishes are doubly neglected: firstly, by being in a species group that has historically received very little attention, and secondly by being often overlooked even within that overlooked and underfunded group.
Yet although they rarely feature in
documentaries, they play an outsized role in how rivers, streams, wetlands and springs function.
SHOAL has created this report not just because tiny fish are charming
curiosities but because they are central to how freshwater ecosystems function, and because
they are disappearing fast.
