Description

Book Synopsis
The waters around Australia are home to the greatest diversity of sharks and rays on Earth. Fully 100 of these sea creatures (and their little-known relatives, the chimaerids) have been named or described since the first edition of this book. This second edition brings more than 300 of these species to life in full-color illustrations.

Trade Review
It certainly is the definitive guide to Australia's cartilaginous fishes, but many of the 322 species covered here have such wide distributions that this edition is useful over a much broader area...Although billed as a field guide...it is far too beautiful to risk getting wet or dirty. -- G. C. Jensen * Choice *
