Coastal Fishes of New Zealand: A Comprehensive Guide to Identification and Behaviour

Coastal Fishes of New Zealand provides a comprehensive, informative and up-at-date identification guide to the fishes likely to be encountered by New Zealand divers and fishers. Illustrated with 340 superb colour photographs of live fish in their natural habitats, this book includes all of New Zealand’s common reef fishes, and also many of those that live in other habitats.

Using the latest research, marine scientist Malcolm Francis provides a wealth of information about identifying features, geographical distribution, habitat and size for 267 species of fish. Other interesting biological features, such as feeding, growth, spawning and behaviour are also discussed.
If you were to have one book on the abundant fish life found around our coasts, this is the one to own.
