"Trapped in the body of this coffee-table book one can find, it's format and beauty notwithstanding, a legitimate reference source. The text stresses the mystifying diversity and adaptability of fishes, while reminding us of their vulnerability. The 24,000 species of fish comprise both the numerous and the earliest of the earth's vertebrates, and this book inspires awe through colorful illustrations and anecdotes. The style is nontechnical and should appeal to all ages, even elementary students."
Christopher Lever in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 1999
"This revised and updated book includes chapters on the classification of fish, their history through the ages, their habitats, adaptations and behaviour, and, most importantly, their conservation status - a hitherto much neglected subject. The book is illustrated with over 200 superb photographs and 150 excellent paintings, diagrams and distribution maps. Written in an easily understood style by an international team of experts, this beautifully produced book is a wonderful introduction to the underwater world of fishes."
