Reef Fishes of the East Indies is an essential reference for biologists, naturalists, and scuba divers. Though there are many other reef fish identification guides available, this is the only reference that covers every known reef fish species from the East Indian region. It will be particularly valuable to those divers that are increasingly pushing the limits of traditional identification guides and photographing and observing rare or cryptic species not otherwise covered there. This series has been written to engender an appreciation of the region's amazing biodiversity and the urgent need to conserve it for the benefit of future generations. More than 10 years have lapsed since the printing of the widely acclaimed first edition. This fully revised and enlarged second edition contains 366 additional species, numerous geographic range extensions, and nearly 1,500 new photographs. (Oceanography/Marine Life)
