This updated edition contains a large amount of new knowledge of British fishes which stems from scientific fishery research, the upsurge of interest in natural history and the increased number of sea anglers. The text will enable the general naturalist, the angler or school child to identify any of the common sea fishes. Information is given on the food, migration, breeding habits and distribution around the British Isles; there are other natural history notes on all common species and some rarer ones. 32 illustrations are in full colour with many others in black and white.
