"From my journals, #8... Monkey Bay, Malawi, 13-Jul-1971. I was working quietly near David Eccles in the Fishery Research Unit while he was perusing some newly received technical bulletins and journals. After some minutes of silence behind the pages of one called American Fish Farmer, David laughed to himself -- "Ha!" "What is it?" I asked. He read, "The value of the U.S. bait minnow industry is 100 - 135 million dollars." He looked up at me. "Which is nearly the same as Malawi's gross domestic cash product.... THAT puts things in perspective!" - Michael K. Oliver |
