Low tide at Korok Inlet on south coastline of Baffin Island. Young man from Kinngait (Cape Dorset) laid down to catch the fish by-hand from underneath the glacial boulders behind him. Zoom into a late summer snow squall.
Handline fishing, or handlining, is a fishing technique where a single fishing line is held in the hands. It is not to be confused with handfishing. One or more fishing lures or baited hooks are attached to the line. A hook, fishing lure, or a fishing jig and many times a weight and/or a fishing float can be attached to the line. Handlining is among the oldest forms of fishing and is commonly practiced throughout the world today. Wikipedia
Another rare find in the Derwent River, Hobart, during our thorough search for red handfish - the red velvetfish is rarely seen during the day, and populations are thought to have declined substantially in recent years
We watched this young man fishing with a handline from the shore in Tobago.

The tiny spotted handfish occurs only in Tasmanian estuarine waters and is critically endangered. It walks on its fins (hands). They are also related to deep sea angler fish. Photographed in a captive breeding facility.

One of the world's rarest animals; less than 40 individuals are known to exist. This is a photo of an animal as it was found, tucked under some algae, with its "toilet brush" fishing lure extended. I hope it catches some supper. Derwent river, Hobart
Hobart. Critically endangered on both the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and the ASFB Threatened Fishes Committee
The rare red handfish grows to just 8 cm long, and hides in seaweed. Whilst it can have red features, it can also be mostly sand and seaweed coloured. Finding them requires a practiced eye, patience and in my case a dash of luck. You can see the submerged tapes that we use to divide up the search area in this shot.
The red handfish faces several threats, but the most pressing is the spread of urchin barrens which replace handfish habitat. Derwent river, Hobart

This delightful little fish is number 23 of 25 drawings in 'Detailed Animal Sketches * Raising Awareness - Conservation Awareness through Art' by Tim Jeffs.
These Handfish are remarkably small in that they only grow to 120mm (about 5 inches) and females are about 3 inches at 2 to 3 years old. These fish could easily be supported in and smaller than your hand!
It has a highly restricted range, being found only in the estuary of the Derwent River in Tasmania, and very nearby areas.
It is now critically endangered mainly because of the introduction of the Northern Pacific Starfish which consumes the eggs and destroys the sea squirt tubes on which the females like to attach their eggs.
Spotted Handfish are a type of angler fish that walk along the sea bed. I think Tim has used artistic licence in adding what appear to be nostrils to a fish as this would normally be small appendages possibly for attracting prey as lures.
I used Derwent Procolour pencils and added more colour with Prismacolor Premiers. The fish are usually a brownish colour rather than the yellows I used.
