But we still know precious little about these enigmatic and often elusive fish.
Oliver's subtle provocations include constellation charts that replace stars with fur and forty-four phofos of enigmatic studio interiors, captured, fish-eye-like, as reflections in a silver teapot.

A previous radio telemetry study demonstrated that the water flow was a critical variable for fish ladder ascent (Arnekleiv and Kraabøl 1996), but the individual size component remains an enigmatic issue.
