Intertidal Fishes describes the fishes inhabiting the narrow strip
of habitat between the high and low tide marks along the rocky
coastlines of the world. It analyzes the specialized traits of
these fishes that have adapted to living in the dynamic and
challenging space where they are alternately exposed to the air and
submerged in water with the ebb and flow of the tides. This book
provides a comprehensive account of fishes largely overlooked in
many previous studies of intertidal organisms and emphasizes how
they differ from fishes living in other deeper-water habitats.
Coverage includes air breathing, movements and homing, sensory
systems, spawning and parental care, feeding habits, community
structure, systematic relationships, distribution patterns, and the
fossil record in the intertidal zone.
