Hidden From Sight
Of all animals, fish are the hardest to see in their natural environments, and this makes it difficult to appreciate them in way people do birds or mammals. For some, such as the Spanish mackerel above, it's almost easier to picture them as filets than actual creatures.
"We don't have the opportunity to see them alive, in living colors," said Prosek. "That's part of what I wanted to show people. These creatures are incredible, but you see them dead and pale in a market. You're not getting that privileged view from the water."
