" This expedition was documented in his book Blind White Fish in Persia; a species of fish that he discovered and is named after him (Eidinemacheilus smithi). In 1977 he returned to Iran with a film crew and two cave divers Martyn Farr and Richard Stevenson who explored the cave where he had found the new species of fish."

No fish were discovered during the first expedition - which is the one documented in the book. The discovery of Eidinemacheilus smithi (originally named Noemacheilus smithi) occurred during the 1977 expedition. Irish Melkite (talk) 02:19, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
