The Australian government is trying to seed juveniles of sandfish, Holothuroidea scabra which were reduced by overfishing. |
The sandfish spends most of its time underground living in soft sand. |
Sandfish, by Saudi Arabian filmmaker Ahd Kamel, is set in the UAE in the 1960s and tells the story of an orphan girl being sold to an old man who already has two wives. |
Participants came across camels, gazelles, and in some cases, deer, goats and sandfish. |
Hatchery production of sandfish has been conducted on an experimental scale in the Pacific region, and includes the production of thousands of juveniles. |
Yet, from all these known fish prey species, only Pacific sandfish was caught in trawls in both river areas, but in very small numbers. |
