Title:
The Blind Fishes of La Cueva Chica: The Story an Aquarium Expedition
Date:
1943
Description:
Travelogue featuring New York Aquarium researchers and others studying rare blind fish. "In 1936 a new kind of blind cavefish was reported in Mexico. Little was known about it aside from the fact that it lived inside a warm water cave. We set out to learn what we could as the natural occurrence of an eyeless condition is always of considerable scientific interest. The party was made up as follows: Dr. C.M. Breder, Jr.; Mr. Ralph Friedman; Mr. William Bridges; Señor Coronado; Dr. E.B. Gresser; Mr. M.B. Bishop; Mr. S.C. Duton; Señor Ramon Aguilar"--Film credits.
