Written by an ichthyologist who has long studied Hawaiian fish, this book discusses the inshore fishes of Hawaii and contains a wealth of information on habitat.
With colour illustrations and brief descriptions of 342 fish found around Hawaii, the book is an excellent reference tool for the snorkeler, diver and aquarist.
Where there is a difference in colour of the sexes, as there often is with wrasses and parrotfishes, or when a juvenile is very different in colour from the adult fish, all stages are shown in full colour.
