I quite enjoyed this short story, following a scientist getting to know the atargati, a sentient, intelligent species living deep in the oceans. I appreciated the author's explorations of identity - particularly gender and sexuality, but also the main character's identity as a scientist and her changing relationship with her "objects of study." I wish it was longer though, as the ending felt abrupt.
