We have fish. We started the day at 5.30am by going to the
shores of the Lake to meet the fisherman as they were returning back with their
catch. We basically went from boat to boat searching for the species that we
wanted. The locals must have thought we were crazy.
The fisherman we specifically asked to go out for us the
previous night wasn’t terribly successful but we still gave him money for his
efforts. He felt really bad and offered to go out again to have another go.
It’s not an easy life, rowing back and forth out to the
middle of the Lake under extremely choppy condition every night to fish.
I’d be keen to give our study species a try (they seem to be
very a popular food fish among the locals) – but maybe at another, less polluted lake (my
colleagues tell me that a factory had, some years before, released huge volumes
of mercury into the Lake when it closed).
