Summary

OVER 950 SPECIES DESCRIBED FULLY UPDATED NEW EDITION A comprehensive and practical handbook that identifies fishes commonly seen in Australian waters. The species entries are grouped in families in the internationally accepted scientific order. Families are arranged so that those with closely related features follow on from one another, making comparison easy. Length measurements for adults are given along with general text highlighting, diagnostic features, interesting aspects of the species and habitat. Every species account is accompanied by one or more color photographs, nearly all of which show the fishes in their natural habitat, and a distribution map. All these features enable positive identification of over 950 species.

Author Biography

Kuiter was born in Amersfoort, Netherlands and emigrated to Australia in 1964. Kuiter (born 1943) is an Australian underwater photographer, taxonomist, marine biologist and author of many identification guides to sea fishes. He has described new species of seahorses in the genus Hippocampus. He is best known for his photo-illustrated identification guides to fishes. Some are dedicated to fishes found in certain regions and others are more specialised publications which catalog various sub-groups of fishes.
