Definately, Silurus,
Do we need anything 'stronger' than Adobe Acrobat Reader v5.0?
- apart from a 'cat's' natural curiosity and obvious intelligence (incomparable to your own)

Indeed! I have had the great pleasure and honour of reading this report and can highly recommend it. There's some astounding stuff in there including a reference to a
brackish cat
(A. similis)

In a naiive sort of way)]; it is somehow extremely refreshing to realise, that some of the much more advanced academeia(in every sense of the word) are prepared to share just a little of their world with us.
Words like 'thanks','appreciation' and 'humility' spring easily to mind. This is not merely a 'reminder' to myself; but an independent thought about all the very hard work and analysis that has gone into the dissertation regarding Akysis spp.
For those like this, and those that have gone before them, we should be very grateful. Such knowledge can sometimes come at an extremely high price.
Vive les poissons,

Hello Nick,
I know some about the very hard work scientific analysis and fieldwork, and I know the (sometimes) high price for knowledge. I have e.g. the descriptions about Akysis fuscus Ng & Kottelat 1996, A. clavulus Ng & Freyhof 2003, A. vespa Ng & Kottelat 2004 and A. hardmani Ng & Kottelat 2005 (Ichthyological Exploration of Freshwaters -> pdf. via Pfeil Verlag) but a many Publications for free from the H.H.Ng-webside too.
And for all this, whith great respect: Thank you very much Heok Hee Ng (and all)!
I'm sorry for my bad English!:oops:
