I’m a fish breeder and aquaculture researcher. I’ve been culturing marine aquarium fish for sale and research since the mid 1990s. I also photograph marine life. My favorite subjects are sharks, reef fishes, and fish larvae. I’m a fish nut! This site hosts my research, photo reports and photography. Thanks for stopping by!
