Full Description
Fishes of the Maldives - Indian Ocean is a comprehensive
identification guide with over 1130 colour
photographs of sharks, rays and fishes likely to be seen by divers. This book
uses an innovative concept to allow easy retrieval and identification of
species and is useful for researchers as well as divers and snorkellers. It
includes a systematic classification and detailed description for each species
and describes points of interest and differences between similar species. The 1st
edition of the book was published in 1998
as Photo Guide to Fishes of the Maldives,
by Rudie H Kuiter, with Jörg Aebi, Toshikazu Kowawa and Neville Coleman as major
contributing photographers.
A 2nd Edition was published in 2014 as Fishes of the Maldives - Indian Ocean, with
the sharks and rays section being authored by Timothy Godfrey. The book was
updated again in 2018.
This 3rd Edition includes a major review of information
about the sharks and rays of the Maldives and includes an additional three
sharks and two rays likely to be seen by divers. It also includes recent
changes to the IUCN Red list of Threatened Species and changes in
classification of a total of 26 shark, ray and fish species.
A new updated, water resistant
companion guide to the book, the Maldives Fish Field Guide is also available.
