My Overseas Journal collection
Can you help me fill in the gaps?

Procatopus from a Cameroon shipment we had December 2022.

All photographs found on this website are placed after
gaining permission from the original photographer & may
not be used in any other website or publication without prior permission from the photographer.
A few photos are used as historical where the photographer has passed away or no longer able to be contacted.
I thank all those for permissions & welcome any photos of fish not shown in this work.

What's New..

New collection, Cameroon 2023. CMG 23, Vasco Gomes.
Repaired Fish House Construction pages.
Continuing the work on the Code Library

I am trying to build up my collection of
Killifish Journals from around the world.
If anyone has spare copies of issues not
listed on my page please e-mail me.

oOOOo

If you are collecting in West Africa or have information on codes not listed in the code
library please let me know so I can update
the records.

There are loads of photos out there of populations
of fish not included in this site.
If you can help out with any to help fill in the
gaps please get in touch.

Help preserve old data on collections &
photographs here. Don't let them sit on shelves
or attic boxes to rot. We love to see this old stuff. So much material not given an airing.
