The largest, swiftest, highest-leaping and most migratory fishes on the planet all live in the open ocean. Beautifully adapted to their world, they range from tiny drift fishes and slow plankton-straining whale sharks to high-energy, streamlined predators such as tunas and marlin. "Fishes of the Open Ocean", from Julian Pepperell, one of Australia's best-known marine biologists and world authority on oceanic fishes, is the first book to describe these fishes, their biology and the complex, often fragile world in which they live. This unique and strikingly designed guide covers not only tunas, marlin, swordfish and sharks, but many other more unusual species such as flying fishes, lancetfish, sunfish, fanfish and basking sharks. Distribution maps for all species, stunning original illustrations from renowned artist Guy Harvey and over 150 images from the world's leading underwater photographers allow for ready species identification.
