The karst landforms of China are renowned around the world for the
beauty of their landscapes, but it is less well appreciated that
they also contain extensive cave systems with very significant
underwater habitats. China also has an extremely high level of
biodiversity, including over 1,500 freshwater fish species.
Unsurprisingly, some of these species inhabit the karst cave
systems and have flourished and diversified under unique
environmental conditions. As a result, cave fishes in China are
particularly abundant and diverse when compared to those of other
countries of the world. These remarkable fishes have received
considerable research attention from Chinese ichthyologists and,
for the first time, this book makes their resulting findings
directly accessible to the English-speaking world through a
remarkable endeavour of Sino-British collaboration.
