Sommario/riassunto |
|
The billfish is fixed at the apex of the oceanic food chain. Noted for their speed, size, and acrobatic jumps, billfish have for centuries inspired a broad spectrum of society. Ulanski tells the saga of this unique group of fish-- and those who have formed bonds with them through their pursuit, study, and protection of these species. |
