I am by no means a marine biologist. I don't particularly think that that is who this book is geared to. I'm just a high school student that has an interest in nature and the physical world. So why did I give it 5 stars? This book is extremely informative. I read it cover to cover and was incredibly surprised by my knowledge (or lack there of) over marine life. I loved this book. It's not really for people that do not appreciate learning as it is pretty wordy and I couldn't pronounce any of the scientific names of the fish. But it is appealing. My little brother enjoyed looking at it just for the pictures, as there are a lot of pictures, and I have to admit I found myself just looking at the pictures from time to time. I gave this book 5 stars because it came to quick and was in really good condition. It was super informative and I learned a lot. It far surpassed any hopes I had for it and I'm glad I spent the money!

This book was extremely helpful to me while I learned all about the fishes at the Aquarium of the Pacific. It is very concise and yet includes every order and family that I ever encountered during my studies. I recommend it wholeheartedly!
