Fishes of the Open Ocean - Standard Trade Edition

About the book.

The back flap says...

The largest, swiftest, highest-leaping, fastest-growing and most migratory fishes on the planet all live in the open ocean.

Beautifully adapted to their world, they range from tiny drift fish to plankton-straining whale sharks to streamlined predators such as wahoo, tuna, marlin and sailfish.

Fishes of the Open Ocean, is the first book to describe these fishes and detail their biology and the complex, often fragile world in which they live.




It is beautifully illustrated by internationally renowned artist Guy Harvey who has produced over 140 original paintings of all species especially for this work.

It is a large format, full colour, hard cover book of 272 pages and will retail at the very reasonable price of $59.95
