James Youl wanted to turn the world upside down by transplanting salmon, and then trout, into the Southern Hemisphere for the first time. His mission was dismissed as scientific and ungodly madness, but over several decades of trial and tragedy it became the most audacious, romantic, and intensive wildlife feat the world has ever seen. Youl's story highlights the still-unresolved questions of the relationship between nature and humankind.His quest rewrote the laws of natural history and seeded today’s enormous consumption of salmon, the worldwide reputation of fishing in Australian and New Zealand waters, and the global boom in fish farming.
