This is a partner to the popular LIFE-SIZE GUIDE TO NEW ZEALAND BIRDS. In similar format (full-colour spread followed by two-colour spread), the book will look at different aquatic environments and the fish (and a few other creatures) that live within them. The environments covered are: * reefs * sand bottom * kelp forests * rivers * mangrove and estuary * open water * sub-marine caves Gillian and Darryl Torckler share a passion for the oceans and their exploration. They have dived in almost all the oceans of the world, but still savour the diversity and colour of New Zealand's unique marine environment. Gillian is a scientist at Auckland University. Darryl is a full-time freelance photographer and has won more than one hundred international awards for his stunning photography.
