Publication
The purpose of this book is to provide means for the identification of the most common reef fishes in the Red Sea. The objective being to present minimum information required to identify each species positively. Other remarks in species accounts may include comments on habitat (particularly if fishes are found in other environments than coral reefs), depth of occurrence in metres, and something of their natural history and habitats when known.
