One is large, long-lived, free-to-roam, blimp-like. The other: small, shorter-lived, confined, butter-like. These are the people's fish, occupying international waters and places on earth that are quite impossible for us to truly experience from the perspectives of these amazingly adapted, beautiful fish. Get to know the \"albatross\" of the abyssal plain, the unfortunately (or fortunately?) named Robust Assfish, AND the Atacama Trench Snailfishes in our first ever compare and contrast episode. Our guest, Dr. Thom Linley, is Curator of Fishes at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa and co-host of The Deep-Sea Podcast.
