The Whispers of a Fishdom Among the Stars

In quiet solitude, the fish listens to the secrets of the cosmos. Fish in the visitor's area of Aquaculture Research Station (EPPO/IPMA), which is marine core facility for research and technological development on aquaculture and biology, intended to carry out production studies at every scale from bench-top laboratory work to a much larger semi-industrial level. From the project: "A Journey of The Fish", which is a story of how overfishing and disregard for the environment can have dire consequences on the local communities and the ecosystem. It is a story of tradition, struggle and hope in the face of adversity.
