The
authoritative expert's guide to
fascinating frogfishes and their unusual
lives.
Winner of the PROSE Award for Best Single
Volume Reference in Science by the
Association of American Publishers
Unique among the world's fishes,
frogfishes display a bizarre combination
of attributes and behaviors that make them
a subject of fervent study. Through
cunning and trickery, they turn would-be
predators into prey; they "walk" across
the ocean floor and jet-propel through
open water; some lay their eggs in a
floating mucoid mass, while others employ
complex patterns of parental care; and
they are certainly among the most colorful
of nature's productions. In Frogfishes,
two of the world's leading anglerfish
experts, Theodore W. Pietsch and Rachel J.
Arnold, bring together an enormous amount
of information about these incredible
creatures. The only detailed exploration
of frogfishes in print, the book touches
on everything from their morphology and
biomechanics to their diets and habitats.
Enhanced with more than 500 spectacular
color images, the book also includes
• a thorough look at about 5,000 preserved
specimens;
• an annotated synonymy for all extant
taxa, as well as keys and tables to
facilitate identification;
• insights into frogfish feeding,
locomotion, mimicry, and reproductive
behavior;
• descriptions of recent scientific
advances, including the discovery of new
species, shifts in geographic
distribution, and emerging DNA sequencing
techniques; and
• tips for frogfish-seeking divers and
aquarists that emphasize conservation.
Unmasking the mysteries of frogfish
evolution and phylogenetic relationships
through close examination of their fossil
record, morphology, and molecular
reconstruction, Frogfishes demonstrates
the surprising diversity and beauty of
this remarkable assemblage of marine
shorefishes..
