Lovely images of the Japanese Pearl farms in Ise...and the pearl farmer that appeared twice in the video looks like my "main man" Jes?s Valenzuela... amazing similarity there (but Jes?s is older and Yaqui).
Thanks for sharing Jeremy!

Nice net throwing at 1:52 showing that even within Pterioidea, species are definitely not sharing the same metabolism nor response to stress.
