After his expedition to the Amazon region, the famous oceanographer Jacques - Yves Cousteau went so far as to say that ‘ there are more species of fish in the Amazon than in the Atlantic Ocean. ’
Slavenais okeanogrāfs Žaks Ivs Kusto pēc ekspedīcijas uz Amazones reģionu pat izteicās, ka Amazonē esot vairāk zivju sugu nekā Atlantijas okeānā.
