Reviews
"This book revolutionised fish ID in the tropical South Pacific when it first came out. We live and work in Fiji in the marine environment and have 4 of these on our shelf (for use of staff in the field as well as office)
The only drawback we find is the bizarre choice of common names. There are already a plethora of other books out there with common names fairly well established in Fiji by Lieske & Meyers. Seems to follow more of an Australian theme for these than the prevous Paul Humann books which use the American common names.
But overall a MUST for any diver who visits the Tropical Pacific. If you use it in conjunction with Lieske & Meyers (and) if you don't find the fish you're looking at, prepare to be published!" —Stuart N. Gow, Amazon Reviews
