Tropical Reef Fishes of Indonesia (Periplus Tropical Nature Guide)

The tremendous abundance of fishes seen during a single scuba dive or snorkeling session in the tropics is just staggering. Indeed, in some areas there are dozens of species inhabiting only one or two hectares of reef. But whether you get underwater, view marine life from the comfort of a glass-bottomed boat or just visit an aquarium, this Periplus Nature Guide provides an excellent introduction to 68 of the most commonly encountered tropical reef fishes. Written by Dr. Gerald Allen, international authority on reef fishes, it features stunning color shots by some of the world's best underwater photographers.
