Hello friends of fishing and ichthyology,

It would be great if you can forward the newsletter to other interested persons or publish a short article.

• development of a global guide for angler in quest of "undiscovered" species in "undiscovered" waters
• documentation of historical catches which shouldn´t be forgotten

• record lengths 39
• record photos 127 (!)

Tight lines and greetings from AUSTRIA
