The ultimate keep-in-your-pocket guide to the subject, Reed Concise Guide Sea Fishes of Australia may be diminutive in size but it punches well above its weight in terms of usefulness, being packed with more than 200 images.

Isolated from other countries and surrounded by three oceans with 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.
