"Jon Miller has had two passionate interests all his life - fish and travel. In this book he gives a lively account of the journeys he has made for the London Zoo in search of fish in countries as far apart as Russia, Madeira, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. Underwater marine life on our planet is the last frontier to be explored before outer space. There still remains much to be discovered, and much that has been discovered has yet to be explained". Chapters include: Learning about fish; The Regent's Park Aquarium; Madeira Fishing Grounds; Next stop, Moscow! Czech interlude; Soviet fish and men; Rumanian caviar.
