A Fish Called Smith is Alive and Well and Living in Persia
In the spring of 1976 Anthony Smith walked into the British
Museum clutching a plastic jar. Inside were two tiny fish. DR HUMPHREY GREENWOOD of the fish department declared ' this is the third most exciting day of my life.' One of the fish was an entirely new species of blind white fish which now bears the name of Smith.
This was the culmination of a search that had taken 25 years. A search that had taken Anthony Smith from the tops of mountains, across burning deserts, and many hundreds of feet down below the earth. In the end he found Noemacheilus smithi almost by accident. Written and narrated by ANTHONY SMITH
