Bernds stomach is starting to complain about soup and stir fry for breakfast (and no coffee!!!!!)
In summer 2010, an Anglo-Chinese expedition led by Prof. Rudy Gozlan will be going back to remote parts of China to find the origin of a fish invasion. A group of scientists from Bournemouth University and the Chinese Academy of Science will collect topmouth gudgeon material from 33 locations covering 9 major catchments and a trail of 10000km.

Day 5
At our last stop we had some trouble finding a decent sample of fish. However, the interesting thing is that with what we have collected we have clear phenotypic differences. Some fish have a very large dark band on the side which goes right through the tail. Genetics will tell us if it is only a phenotypic difference. On the way to our next site we had a flat tyre (it had to happen when you see the state of some of the places we're going) and I am now blogging from a garage in Nanjing a large city on the lower Yangtze River (the capital of the south ). As soon as the car is fixed we are heading off further south.
