The world according to fish

Maybe I'm not understanding. Isn't Australia an island, so wouldn't it show as some kind of "lake" like new Zealand is?
- I was confused as well and I found this coloured version and this version with sea connections (green for Panama and Suez canal) that helped me to understand!
  
  Thank you.
  
  Still kinda a weird how they have it laid out. Granted I'm no cartographer, I don't know the struggles of projecting a sphere on a plane.
  
  The Continental divides split the continents in half as there's no water that goes fully over them. That's awesome!
  
  oh yes now i get it
- Every continent is an island
  
  Europe and Asia claim otherwise.
- Here’s a better projection. I don’- know what went wrong with OP’s…
Is there a reason fish would orient the map that way?
- We asked but they declined to comment so we can only guess.
  
  Africa isn’t properly isolated, either. I guess that’s a side-effect of trying to make the land surround the sea.
