Synthesising the very latest research, this comprehensive account of deep-sea fishes covers evolution, physiology and ecology as well as the history of their discovery. Priede provides a global account of both pelagic and demersal species and, crucially, considers the effect of the growing deep-sea fishing industry on sustainability.
