"No other readily available reference covers so much up-to-date information about the anatomy and taxonomy of fishes. Fishes: A Guide to Their Diversity should be on the bookshelf of anyone with even a casual interest in this important group. It will be an indispensable teaching and learning tool."
--Gene Helfman, author of Fish Conservation: A Guide to Understanding and Restoring Global Aquatic Biodiversity and Fishery Resources and The Diversity of Fishes: Biology, Evolution, and Ecology "If you are a student, teacher, naturalist, or just a fish lover, you need Fishes: A Guide to Their Diversity. The classification is sensible and the text easy to understand. It's a must-have desk reference for those working with or learning about fish."
--Peter Moyle, author of Fishes: An Introduction to Ichthyology and coauthor of Protecting Life on Earth: An Introduction to the Science of Conservation "Perhaps the most valuable feature of Fishes: A Guide to Their Diversity is the labeled illustrations of representative fishes. This book will be very useful for introducing students to the vast variety of fishes."
--Bruce B. Collette, coauthor of The Diversity of Fishes: Biology, Evolution, and Ecology and Chair of the IUCN SSC Tuna & Billfish Specialist Group "Fishes: A Guide to Their Diversity will be valuable for students in a lab or field environment and will be an important resource for those who deal with teaching or research collections. The succinct presentation of distinguishing characteristics, particularly at the family level, will prepare students and professionals well for identifying fishes, no matter where they are in the world."
> "Fishes: A Guide to Their Diversity will be a welcome resource for courses in fish biology and evolution/ichthyology. Its taxonomic coverage is excellent."
