Description
Coral Reef Fishes is the successor of The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs. This new edition includes provocative
reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology. Concerns about the future health of coral reefs, and recognition that reefs and
their fishes are economically important components of the coastal oceans of many tropical nations, have led to enormous growth in research
directed at reef fishes. This book is much more than a simple revision of the earlier volume; it is a companion that supports and extends
the earlier work. The included syntheses provides readers with the current highlights in this exciting science.
Audience
Advanced undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and researchers interested in coral reef ecology, fish ecology, fishery sciences and
related ecological, ichthyological, and zoological issues. Ecologists, fishery scientists, and anyone interested in complex ecosystem
structure and function. Libraries at institutions with strong programs in ecology, ichthyology, fishery science and related disciplines.
