Indo Pacific – CORAL REEF – Field Guide – Gerald R. Allen / Roger Steene

Gerald R. Allen / Roger Steene
ISBN 981-00-5687-7





This book covers not just fish but the full spectrum of underwater natural history.
As a field guide it is not detailed and is for use as a quick photo reference.
The great thing is that the pages are water resistant so you can take it out on the boat or kayak for instant reference
