Review # 1 was written on 2018-04-16 00:00:00 Azali Sukimi They almost nailed every detail about different kinds of fish that's why the book fits itself to its title name which every important scientific references and books were cited. The book is saturated with lots of information. Some information could only be understood by biologists or marine biologists. Ironically, they put so much effort for writing this book and adding details but no detailed pictures of their indepth fishes (e.g. about the galaxiids and retropiniids on p. 279). Structurally, the book is not a straightforward book about fishes, too many exceptions, (buts and howevers). Lastly after reading the book, I find marine biology to be an indirect-thing matter because too much of these exceptions that concepts don't always jump straight to the matter. For fish wannabes: not recommended (to be honest it requires basic organismal biology and phylogenetics) For fish hobbyist/experts/biologists/marine biologists: recommended

Review # 2 was written on 2015-03-27 00:00:00 Melanie Tuttle Excellent, thorough introduction to the biology and ecology of fishes. This text covers just about everything imaginable to provide the reader with a solid foundation in ichthyology, and opportunity for further research in more advanced topics. This book was indispensable for furthering my understanding of fish biology, as well as fish evolution.
