The two CD-set contains video of over 150 species. The CD-ROM also contains video of heretofore undocumented fish behavior on subjects like mating, predation, camouflage, brooding, and nesting.

From the Publisher
This region was selected for the second volume as it is one of the planets marine regions undergoing significant exploitation for aquaculture and marine related tourism. We decided to produce a two CD set, while maintaining a single CD product price in order to provide readers with a complete introduction to the region. While not as rich as the marine region in the Indonesia/Philippines/New Guinea triangle, Micronesia is nevertheless a region of great marine biodiversity. Some areas such as Palau, Guam, and Truk (Chuuk) are so overexploited today, especially by the scuba diving and commercial fishing industries that entire marine populations have been decimated. A second edition is underway that will include expanded land photography, and with a primary editorial scope that focuses on families of fishes rather than on species.
