Ria Formosa Nature Reserve - Fish Tank/ Faro Fish Market

I photographed this tank (although so natural it doesn't look anything like a tank) created, in a marshy area, to permit the development of certain fish species. These include Gilt Head, Bass, Sole, Sea Bream and Eel. Among other functions, salt marshes have the capacity to remove some pollutants from water and act, to a certain extent, as a water purifier! If you look very closely you'll see the outline of several fish swimming close to the water's edge.



Staying on the fish theme, I just wanted to share with you a photograph I took of a fish counter in Apolonia, a shop located in Almancil, Portugal. The fish were sourced from a market in Faro and include, Sea Bass, Striped fish, Sea Bream, Hake, Blake John Dory, Zebra Sea Bream, Eel, Sole and Horse Mackerel. The fruits of the sea!
