Summary: The colony was flourishing

---

Wicker-fish flickered in the spray, glints of light off the surface of the water reflecting through their scales and striations. These were the biggest that Declan had ever seen, an arm-span long, not mere hand-spans. The river ran green in the sunlit center giving no hint to depth, deceptively smooth, nearly black in the shadows from the overhanging trees. Drooping vines fooled the eye, making it hard to tell what was fish suspended in the still and heavy air, and what chance strands of grass and wicker-vine making fish-shapes. fingerlings and fry darted about in the deeper pools, the bolder ones venturing into the more turbulent shallows, playing hide-and-seek among the rocks. The colony was flourishing, which Declan was very glad to see.
