Welcome to Fish Bits
The 'Fish Bits' blog is updated weekly. It will post information about current happenings in the Fish Section - who's visiting and accounts of any special events. It will also list all the new species factsheets, weird and wonderful specimens and hopefully, news from the field.
It became obvious that more than just a 'What's new' listing was required for the fish site. Fish Bits will provide a venue for adding unusual, quirky information that previously did not fit within the site structure. We hope that you find 'Fish Bits' interesting.
Simply click on the links to the left to access the latest post or dip in to the archives.
