This book, like all publications from these guys, is a fairly comprehensive field guide for marine species in the region, including some notes about behaviors and ranges of habitation. However, I continue to struggle with its non-scientific arrangement, where species are lumped together according to their morphology (i.e., "large bodies with fat lips"). It may be an easy way for the novice to locate something he/she has seen underwater, based upon physical characteristics, but it doesn't necessarily work well for the more advanced user. Nonetheless, I bought it, knowing what to expect, and it's worth the money.
Absolutely super. The Humann-De Loach fish identification series, of which I have all, are indispensible for a serious underwater videographer like myself.Don Wilson
The REEF FISH series is an excellent quick fish identification resource for divers, anglers, and ichthyology field work. This one focuses on Pacific fish in the tropical band to Panama and Sea of Cortez, with Spanish common names along with the English names. Always good pictures make finding that odd catch easier.
Outstanding photography, excellent descriptions that include size and where the fish is likely to be found. I highly recommend this book and would certainly buy it again.
This book helped me identify just about every fish that I saw while diving in the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. It is well illustrated and have concise, accurate discriptions that highlight fish features that help ID.
This book is an excellent reference for divers and snorkelers. I use it after diving/snorkeling to easily identify the fish I saw during the dive. It has english, "native" (mostly spanish given the area) and scientific name for all the fish identified.I highly recommend it!
The book is well laid out by fish body shape, so it helps to quickly identify the type of fish. Gives good basic information about the critter and has lots of really great pictures.
Great Fish ID book! Very informative & the book is easy to go through and locate fish that you may not know. Photos that accompany the book are great. Professional quality!
