First really nice stamps Z.

I used to do a "VISA run" every 90 days, IE. go to another country then re-enter Thailand for a new Visa entry. I usually took an overnight bus journey south to the nearest border crossing with Burma (Myanma) arriving at the departure pier at about 6am. Next door were the fish piers, I would wander around, take photo's. I didn't realise how big tuna were, some were more than 2.5 metres (8 feet) in length.

A little info from the web:

1. Thunnini (Tuna) comprises fifteen species across five genera, the sizes of which vary greatly, ranging from the bullet tuna (max. length: 50 cm (1.6 ft), weight: 1.8 kg (4 lb)) up to the Atlantic bluefin tuna (max. length:4.6 m (15 ft), weight: 684 kg (1,508 lb)).

Regards, James.

Hello Valentin, nice stamps, another large and impressive fish, the Sturgeon, famed of course for its Caviar.

The fish looks like a prehistoric one, very interesting.

 

The currency was printed/written uniquely (s/b $1.50 right?) or it was an error?

 

Hello, some more Mozambique fish from the same "Tropical Fish" set (of six). These being offered on EBay as a complete set? These showing the same currency format. Listed as Mozambican escudo & centavo.
