Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated photographic identification guide to the common marine fish found around Britain and Ireland—ideal for divers, snorkellers, and natural history enthusiasts Fish are a colourful and important part of inshore marine life, much admired by divers and snorkellers. But it can be difficult to accurately identify and record these quick-moving animals underwater. This authoritative, beautifully illustrated photographic guide offers a practical, easy-to-use approach for identifying the fish species commonly seen in the waters around Britain and Ireland, as well as a few vagrant and interesting rare species. The book’s concise text explains how fish can be identified underwater, and is accompanied by numerous photographs of each species in its natural environment and diagrams illustrating key features. The book also clearly indicates the cases when underwater species identification is more difficult. Published in association with the UK’s Marine Conservation Society, the book makes an invaluable addition to the series of marine photographic titles of Seasearch, a species recording project for volunteer sports divers. Features individual descriptions of more than 150 species, with information on size, depth range, habitat and distribution in the Seasearch guide icon format Illustrates every species in its natural underwater environment Emphasises key identification features and possible confusion species Includes a “confidence guide” distinguishing between easily recognisable species and those requiring closer examination Features longer sections highlighting interesting species, behaviours and other topics Provides information on protected species, taxonomy, shifting distributions and conservation status

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fishes of Great Britain and Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2 Twenty years having elapsed since the last editions of the elaborate treatises on "British Fishes" by Yarrell and Couch were published, I venture to offer to the public a new work on our fish-fauna, wherein I have attempted to incorporate many of the discoveries of recent times. For latterly investigations into our fish and fisheries have been pursued with increased zeal, and many facts ascertained materially modifying some of the conclusions formerly arrived at. My desire has been to produce a work useful to the zoological student, fish-culturist, fisherman, and the general public - all of whom are more or less interested in the fish-fauna of the. British Isles, whether as regards their geographical, zoological, sporting, or economic aspects. As the value of a work of this description is much increased by illustrations, I have personally delineated every species from nature. Why I was unable to retain the services of my professional artist the subjoined letter from the Secretary to the Trustees of the British Museum will explain. The number of zoologists who have made the fish-fauna of our isles the subject for their special study is very considerable, as will be seen by the following list. While in addition to those who are not specially alluded to others have also done good service, either as compilers or investigators into the habits or other subjects pertaining to one or more of our indigenous species, recording their discoveries in articles sent to different scientific publications or in the pages of weekly and other journals, and which, so far as I have been able, I have referred to under the various species to which such remarks pertain. In the year 1662, Sir Thomas Browne compiled a list of the Norfolk fishes, on which he made several interesting observations; in 1684, Sir Robert Sibbald, in "Scotiae Prod. Nat. Hist.," describes the fishes of that country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
