The Red Sea is universally regarded as a showpiece of the marine world. Enjoying an abundance of sunlight, clear water and warm temperatures down to a considerable depth, the Red Sea and its coral reefs are home to many magnificent fishes. Richard and Mary Field provide detailed notes on distribution, identification and behaviour for each order based on many years of careful observation and experience. This book will be welcomed by the many visitors who come to the red Sea from around the world. Snorkellers, divers and underwater photographers will find it essential reading and those who never venture beneath the surface will find that its pages bring all the magic and enjoyment of this unique underwater realm to life.
