Ecology of marine fishes : California and adjacent waters

Allen, Larry Glenn. (Added Author). Pondella, Daniel J. (Added Author). Horn, Michael H. (Added Author).

Summary:

"Fundamental ideas in marine ecology have emerged from the study of marine fishes. This unique, authoritative, and accessible reference, compiled by 35 luminary ecologists, evolutionary biologists, and ichthyologists, provides the first-ever synthesis and interpretation of the large, often daunting, body of information on the ecology of marine fishes. Comprehensive and generously illustrated, this volume focuses on the fauna of the eastern pacific, paying particular attention to the California coast, which is among the most diverse and best studied of all marine ecosystems."--Jacket.
