From the rear cover
THE LANDMARK REFERENCE FOR FISH DIVERSITY, UPDATED WITH NEW FINDINGS AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Fishes of the World is the indispensable reference featuring the only modern phylogenetic classification of the world's fishes, fossil and extant. A true classic in the field, this new fifth edition gathers the latest findings from the scientific community to enable the understanding of fish diversity, family characteristics, evolutionary relationships, and more. New molecular phylogenetic results are assessed and integrated with sound morphological and paleontological evidence. The taxonomy includes both scientific and common names, anatomical characteristics, distributions, biological characteristics, and representative drawings for 536 families of fishes to provide a truly comprehensive resource. First published in 1976, this book has become the de facto reference for fish classication and diversity.
This new fifth edition features:
- Completely updated and extensively revised ranked classification, including competing hypotheses for many groups
- A comprehensive taxonomic framework for both fossil and living species
- Many new phylogenetic diagrams that clarify relationships among lineages
- More than 525 illustrations, including new diagrams, recently discovered species, and the latest fossil finds
There are more fish species than there are mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians combined. The field is truly massive, making critical analysis and reliable, respected references essential for the advancement of research. Unique in its modern systematic presentation since the first edition, Fishes of the World is relied upon by professional ichthyologists, students, and fish enthusiasts around the globe.
