Actually a teaming, if cloudy body of water with a vast cast of local characters including: the prickly, genetically adaptable Sticklebacks; its chief culinary companions, the crustaceans, a booming mass of algae, daitoms, and very possibly the dark mysterious European eel, trapped forever from it Caribbean mating grounds.
