The new edition covers 1670 fish species found in the seas of tropical Southeast Asia the Southern Pacific islands and Australia–including the Great Barrier ReefMalaysiaIndonesiaThailandVietnam and the Philippines.

Originally published as Marine Fishes of South-East Asia this edition contains numerous revisions in nomenclature affecting both the scientific Latin names and common names of the region’s fishes. In all cases, these have been made to reflect the current universally accepted terminology. The common names in this book are the result of a recent initiative undertaken by the Australian Government and Seafood Services Australia.

Each species is depicted in detailed full-color plates by noted marine artists Roger Swainston and Jill Ruseincluding over 35 new species. In many cases the illustrations show both male and female examples.

With more than 2000 illustrations and 29 color photographs, this definitive field guide will continue to be an invaluable resource for professionals and hobbyists alike.
