The South Pacific has long been in need of a comprehensive guide to reef and shore fishes. This volume covers the inshore fish fauna of New Caledonia, the Loyalty Islands, the southern Gilbert Islands (Kiribati), Tuvalu, Fiji, the Wallis Islands, Tonga, Samoa, American Samoa, the Tokelau Islands, the Phoenix Islands, the Cook Islands, the Austral Islands, Rapa, the Society Islands, the Tuamoto Archipelago, the Marquesas Islands, and the Pitcairn Islands. It contains accounts of nearly 1,500 species of fishes, illustrated with more than 2,000 color photographs, taken mostly underwater. (A few drab species are illustrated by only black and white photographs or drawings.) Species accounts are headed by the English common name, the scientific name, the author or authors who described the fish, and the date of the description. This is followed by a concise list of the characteristics needed to identify the species, the total length it attains, its distribution, habitat, and in summary form what may be known of its biology. More than 600 references are given for those seeking more information on individual species. The introduction contains a two-page color spread of the main external features of fishes. An extensive glossary of scientific terms precedes the index.

Ecology of Australian Temperate Reefs presents the current state of knowledge of the ecology of important elements of southern Australian sub-tidal reef flora and fauna, and the underlying ecological principles.Preliminary chapters describe the geological origin, oceanography and biogeography of southern Australia, including the transitional temperate regions toward the Abrolhos Islands in the west and to Sydney in the east. The book then explains the origin and evolution of the flora and fauna at geological time scales as Australia separated from Antarctica; the oceanography of the region, including principal currents, and interactions with on-shelf waters; and the ecology of particular species or species groups at different trophic levels, starting with algae, then the ecological principles on which communities are organized.Ecology of Australian Temperate Reefs is well illustrated with line drawings, figures and color plates showing the many species covered, and will be a much valued reference for biologists, undergraduates, and those interested and concerned with reef life and its natural history.Key Features:* Well illustrated with line drawings, figures and color plates to illustrate the many species discussed* Includes accounts of geological origin, biogeography and the oceanography of the region, including principal currents, and interactions with on-shelf waters

The Red Sea is home of a unique fauna due to its almost isolated position near the Indian Ocean and therefore is one of the most fascinating diving areas of the world.Over ten per cent of its fish species are endemics found exclusively between the Suez Canal in the north and the Gate of Lamentations (Bab-el-Mandeb) in the south. As part of the Indian Ocean the Arabian Sea surrounds the rest of the Arabian Peninsula. A combined presentation of the faunas of both these tropical seas around Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Arabian Peninsula, this book is perfectly illustrated with over 1100 photos from the natural environment of the animals on 322 pages. It is a treasure of information for divers, aquarium hobbyists and fish import/exporters.The relation price/achievement is unbeatable!
