Big isn’t always beautiful and our mini species also have a vital role to play in the overall ecology of our aquatic systems – but the smaller species appear to be in decline.
This ambitious project, supported by a grant from National Geographic, is headed by wildlife photographer and natural historian, Jack Perks and aims to look at a number of our mini species including: 10-spined stickleback, minnow, bullhead, stone loach, ruffe and bleak. Are these species all in decline? If so, why? And what can be done to protect them?
