Came across this fun new book that alludes to, among so many other interesting natural history morsels, our research on fish “pee”. Here are some quick excerpts: “… fish ecologist Jacob Allgeier spent years working out just how much coral reefs rely on fish pee. The practical side of his work … involved catching hundreds of fish species and carefully placing them one by one in plastic bags of seawater … Allgeier estimated that when reefs are depleted of their fish, they’re starved of up to half of the nutrients available in healthier, fish-rich, urine-rich habitats.”
And we made fun of our Abaco fish pee guy for years – He is hitting the big time now!
