Isolated from other countries, and surrounded by three oceans and a mix of tropical, temperate and subtropical waters, the seas around Australia are overloaded with fishes. More than 4,000 marine fish species are found around the nation, making it one of the richest areas in the world for these fascinating and complex creatures of the deep.
The Concise Guide to Australian Sea Fishes is a great introduction to the fish families and some of the fish species that can be seen around Australia. The book contains information about 121 fish families and 193 fish species, including where they are found, what they look like and how they behave.
Filled with wonderful underwater photographs, the Concise Guide to Australian Sea Fishes is a compact and user-friendly guide to help you identify the fish you see around Australia, wherever you dive, snorkel or throw in a line.
