Book excerpt: Indian Ocean harbour about 4000 fish species. Except identifying characters and taxonomic status of the species, it is practically impossible to describe the bionomics of each of the four thousand species, since studies have not been made for all and reliable informations are not available in respect of many uneconomical species. Thus in a dynamic ocean, with so many regional micro-climatic and hydrological changes, many of the commercially important fish species fluctuate in their seasonal inshore migration resulting appearance of huge fish shoals forming a good fishery in some years, while there is a failure of the fishery in other years due to the disappearance of the shoals. Considering this dynamic condition of the sea and the dynamic nature of fish species, regional, area wise, depth wise movement and their assemblage have been described in the book. In the book, besides, describing identifying characters of major groups of fish, details of pelagic commercially important oceanic tuna, biological characteristics of some economically significant species of each of major fish groups have been mentioned with special reference to the seas around Indian Sub-Continent. Occurrence and capture of species forming commercial fishery from seventeen fishing grounds along the Indian coasts have been outlined in the book. Significant details in respect of more than four hundred fish species of economic importance is an additional attraction of the book. The book contain numerous diagrams sketches and photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume in the Fauna Malesiana book series gives an extensive overview of the larval development of 124 families of fishes, many of them of importance for both fishery and from ecological perspectives. The families that are described originate from the center of global marine biodiversity: the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans, a region rich in coral reefs, as well as mangrove, estuarine, and coastal shelf habitats. The identification guide not only documents the ontogeny of these fishes but also provides the means to identify these extraordinarily diverse larvae to the level of family. The book offers a wealth of instructive and detailed figures and illustrations (219 plates, each consisting of approximately 4 figures) for enabling the identification of these families and their larval specialization.

Book excerpt: This comprehensive guide encompasses a total of 473 species of mesopelagic fishes (i.e. those fishes residing primarily between 200 and 1 000 m depth during daytime) that are known to occur in the western Indian Ocean. It aids in their accurate identification, offering dichotomous keys to all taxa. Species are treated in detail, with accounts including the scientific name, FAO common name in English (where available), other useful characters, size, a distribution map, and one or more illustrations. Captions and arrows enhance user-friendliness for to both specialists and non-specialists in the field of ichthyology. In the broader context of marine ecology, mesopelagic fishes hold a pivotal role as integral components of the marine food web, serving both as predators and prey for various species. This guide not only enriches our understanding of these fishes but also contributes to our knowledge of the western Indian Ocean's diverse ecosystem. Beyond species identification, it sheds light on the interconnectedness of marine life and underscores the importance of conservation efforts in safeguarding this delicate balance. This guide serves as an invaluable resource for in-depth exploration and research into these remarkable fishes, offering a comprehensive tool for studying their diverse characteristics, behaviours, and ecological significance, essential elements for sustainable management and conservation practices.
