High-backed crucian High-backed crucian
 This photo by William Wyatt of one of his Swedish crucians, is particularly
 interesting. The light shows off the "extra" high section of the body very well.
 If you trace the line at the base of the illuminated top "hamper" you can see the
 shape of a typical low-backed crucian.

 Thanks to Simon Baddeley for allowing the use of this picture. This lovely object
 was gifted some 25 years ago to Simon's stepfather, Jack Hargreaves - an all-round
 angler who made the 'Out of Town' television programs. A carved fish to cherish,
 though the lateral line scale count is a little short of what it should be! (33)
