Coastal Fishes of South-Eastern Australia is the first book to cover almost all the unknown fish species from the coastal waters of eastern Australia, ranging from northern New South Wales to western Victoria. It comprises 142 families and 855 species, all illustrated with at least one colour photograph, but including juvenile stages, different male-female forms, and colour variants of the same species where appropriate. The great majority of the species were photographed in their natural environment. The primary purpose of the book is to identify fishes living in the area covered, and it has been designed to accommodate fishermen, divers, students and scientists. The fishes are arranged scientifically from the highest class down to the species, based on the latest revisions. Scientific keys are provided down to the family level, and similar or closely related species are placed near each other. In addition, a pictorial key to the families is provided. Each level of classification has an introduction, and each species has a general description, mostly based on external features. The species description is followed by information on distribution in Australia and elsewhere, habitat, interesting behaviour, and size. Great importance has been placed on the use of common names, and on uniformity throughout the entire book.
Detailed reference and guide describing the 727 species of marine and estuarine fish recorded along Australia's South Coast, to a depth of 1,000 metres. Each species is illustrated, and juvenile forms are also depicted. Provides information on the distribution and biology of each species, as well as a key to families, diagrams of anatomical features, and a chapter on harmful fishes. Includes a glossary, references, an index of common and scientific names, and a distribution map. Also available in hardback. The editors are scientists specialising in the study of marine life.
Sequel to TFishes of the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea' (1990). Covers almost all the known fish species in the coastal waters of Eastern Australia, from the southern boundary of the Great Barrier Reed to the South Australian border. Provides information on 142 families and 855 species, arranged taxonomically, giving keys down to family level, an introduction to each level of classification, and a general description of each species, based on external features. Includes information on distribution, habitat, behaviour and size. Lavishly illustrated, with at least one colour photograph of each species, including juvenile stages, different malePfemale forms, and colour variants of the same species where appropriate. Includes a glossary and an index of common and scientific names. The author is an honorary associate of the Museum of Victoria, and is the co-author and major photographer of TFishes of Australia's South Coast'.
A comprehensive and practical guide to identifying sea fishes commonly seen in Australian waters, the book is for fish watchers, divers, snorkellers and anglers. It provides a view of the diversity of sea fish life along the Australian coastline.
Full-colour photographs and distribution maps accompany each species. Some species are illustrated with two photographs to show juvenile or adult or sex variations. Each description gives common and scientific names and measurements
Intended as a laboratory guide, this atlas will allow users to accurately identify species and size of fish using otoliths. The main features presented for each species, include brief distribution and ecology notes, regression for otolith and fish lengths, and standardised description of the otolith structure.
The published works are derived from the Zoological catalogue of Australia database. Taxa in the Australian fauna are divided among volumes to form sets of about 1800-2000 species available names, such that each volume comprises the whole or part of one or more major groups.
