Produktbeschreibung

"This book explores the fascinating lives, unique behaviors, and remarkable adaptations of marine fishes. Chapters cluster fishes into similar groups-like sharks and rays, small schoolers, or deep water species-and show fishes as wildlife and not just food. Readers also hear from scientists who are discovering new fish behaviors and interactions."--
