4.0 out of 5 stars a brief but well-written introduction to the subject, December 3, 1998
By 
Joe the Critic (San Jose Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pisces Guide to Caribbean Reef Ecology (Paperback)
This book will provide a basic scientific framework for tropical divers who want to be more than just diving tourists. It covers the different reef zones and the interaction between them, provides an overview of the different animal families, explains the food chain and the interaction between plant and animal life, and describes the differences in feeding behavior between grazers, bottom feeders, nighttime hunters, and daytime hunters. All in a compact, clear format that can be easily polished off in a 4 hour plane ride. My only criticism is that this book, like most of the Pisces guides, is no more substantial than an issue of a good magazine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide to Fish behavior, August 26, 2000
By 
Joe Mathis (Bradenton, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pisces Guide to Caribbean Reef Ecology (Paperback)
This is a great condensed version of reef fish behavior. It is exceptionally well organized and easy to understand. I find it useful in guiding at the Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium, in Sarasota, FL. I am also a diver and appreciate knowing about the creatures I see on the reef. It makes the dives much more interesting and meaningful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Read, December 13, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pisces Guide to Caribbean Reef Ecology (Paperback)


This book is an introduction to, not a comprehensive study of tropical reef ecosystems. It is perfect for someone who wants to converse intelligently about coral reef ecosystems after only a few hours of reading. It is well written and entertaining. I recommend it highly.
