Marine Fishes Florida coverIf you live along the Florida coast, plan to be spending some time along the Florida coast, or simply have an interest in marine species of fish – particularly those inhabiting the waters off the Florida coast – then David B. Snyder, George H. Burgess, and Johns Hopkins University Press have a new book that may greatly interest you: Marine Fishes of Florida.

Covering hundreds of fish species over a range of 133 families found both near shore as well in deep water off the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, Marine Fishes of Florida is reported to be the most comprehensive book on its subject yet published. Looking through its pages, it’s not at all difficult to believe that such a report is true.
