The Standard for Fish Identificatio on the West Coast
You all know that your intrepid Dive Coodinator is a fish nut. You have seen my photos and seen that I usually include the identification data and the scientific name of the fish I photograph. Paul Humann and Ned Deloach have always been considered the Gold Standard for fish identification and all of you California divers have long referred to their "Coastal Fish Identification: California to Alaska" for those mystery fish you have discovered on your dives. There is good news for all of my fellow fish nuts. New World Publications has introduced an updated 2nd Edition of the book with 30 new species and 70 new photographs bringing the total in the new edition to 258 fish species and 320 color photographs. It is available now and would be a valuable addition to your library of scuba publications. Check it out. You might be able to use it for an Underwater Naturalist Specialty course in your future. It lists for $37.95 on New World Publications web site.
