Abstract: This article from Australian Geographic discusses the plight of handfish, a unique type of fish found in southern Australia. Handfish are known for their ability to walk along the sea floor using their hand-shaped fins. However, many species of handfish are facing extinction due to various threats, including habitat loss, predation, and warming waters. Efforts are being made to conserve and protect these endangered species, including captive breeding programs and the removal of invasive species. The article highlights the need for more research and data to effectively manage and protect handfish populations. [Extracted from the article]
