Rivers, lakes, and wetlands are among the most biodiverse places on earth. They cover less than 1 percent of the planet’s total surface, yet they’re home to almost a quarter of all vertebrate species – including over half of all the world’s fish species. Freshwater fishes play important roles within our ecosystems and serve as indicators of the health of those ecosystems. If freshwater ecosystems deteriorate to the point where they can’t support a healthy population of fish, they won’t be fit for humans either. Yet, in many senses, these are the world’s forgotten fishes.
