Explains the appearance, range, habitat, courtship, breeding, life-cycle & feeding behavior of each species. The specially commissioned artworks & beautiful full-color photos allow quick & easy identification. The book is organized by fish family. Closely related species are grouped together, so that minor differences in appearance of behavior can be easily recognized.
