The Early Life History (ELH) of marine fishes in Fishing Area
31, which includes the western central North Atlantic, Caribbean
Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico, has remained incomplete over the
years. This certainly wasnot because of any lack of interest, but
rather because of the lack of a comprehensive merging of studies
that would provide us with a broad understanding, as well as
identify gaps in the literature.
Early Stages of Atlantic Fishes: An Identification Guide for the
Western Central North Atlantic fills the void in an exceptionally
thorough fashion. Inside you will find contributions from more than
70 international experts, edited by one of the world s most
respected fishery scientists. This is the definitive reference
covering the ELH of those fishes found in that part of the
Atlantic, which stretches across the territorial waters of more
than 40 countries.
This two-volume masterwork covers the eggs, larvae, and
juveniles of all families known to inhabit this area. It brings
together published information of merit, plus original research
results providing information designed to identify these ELH stages
generally collected by plankton nets. Chapters in the volume are
devoted to every one of the 214 families. Each includes a brief
synopsis of the family, early life-stage identification, meristic
data tables, and significant accounts of lower taxa, with one page
giving detailed information and the facing page devoted to
illustrations. "
