A Field Guide to the Marine Fishes of Wales and Adjacent Waters

Whether you live in or visit Wales, this book aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive identification guide to all the marine fish you might see as a diver, snorkeler, angler, fisherman, rockpooler or even beachcomber. The book covers over 250 species with key identification features and supporting underwater photographs and illustrations. Accounts also include sections on similar species, habitat and distribution both within Wales and worldwide. The introduction includes sections on how to identify, record and photograph fish. Marine Fishes of Wales will also be useful to anyone interested in identifying our sea fish found around Britain and Ireland as all the species featured also occur in these areas, with the exception of some southern and rare visiting fish. This book also includes an annotated list of fishes of the UK and Ireland. Paul Kay has been diving and taking underwater photographs around Britain and Ireland for 25 years and Frances Dipper is an independent marine consultant, lecturer and author and has been studying marine life for over 30 years.
