Ken Schultz's Field Guide to Saltwater Fish

I bought this with the freshwater fish guide. I wish it had color photos along with the drawings but they are really great books. The information in the front of the books emphasizes identification through fish and tail shape, coloration, fin and gill characteristics, etc. The drawings are consistent with the descriptions so the books are very effective. Ken Schultz addresses around ten categories for each fish so quickly locating specific info is easy.

Great for the novice fisherman or just someone takinga cruise and wants to know what fish will eat you or not.

I purchased this book for our son who had shown strong interest in fish particularly ones in ocean. He loves cooking fish and likes to study fish of different kinds. It was a perfect book to satisfy his curiosity and to expand it. He has not put it down since we bought it 1.5 months ago and I really feel we got significant mileage out of this book! We just ordered the Fresh Water Dish book from the same author.

it ok mad

I do volunteer guide work in a local aquarium. I was looking for a guide related to salt water fish, their range and eating and breeding habits. I purchased the Kindle edition because I can carry it in the pocket of my cargo pants and it is always readily available. Although this guide is designed for anglers it has served my requirements very well. Though the aquarium has over 1100 species inclusive of some mammals, birds and many invertebrate marine creatures it is primarily dedicated to saltwater fish. It is reassuring to know that when a guest asks a question related to fish I have an easy quick means by which I can accurately respond. This book has proved to be an excellent resource even though my use differs from its' intended use.

This book isn’t very helpful, the pictures are in black and white. :-(

Great informative text. Was looking to improve variety of selection for a 9th grade class of reluctant readers. Has worked well!

Just in time for me to learn, before heading into the ocean.

Very informative

Informative

This is a Xmas gift

My 10 year old son appreciated this book for his Birthday as he wanted to find outwhat he had been catching/seeing down in Wales.
