Over 180 species of sharks, 100 rays and 13 ghost sharks live in Australian waters. Each species is described and illustrated in the first major revision of Australian sharks and rays in 50 years. The illustrations, including 300 colour paintings that closely capture the living colours of each animal, are some of the best made of sharks and rays. The keys are illustrated and easy to use. The formal descriptions include field characters, distinctive features, colour, size, distribution, synonymy and references with comments on biology and interest to fisheries where relevant. Over 300 two-colour maps are included as a guide to distribution. The book should provide a reference for professional and recreational fishermen, divers, naturalists, students, fish biologists and anyone interested in sharks and rays. Since many of the species described are also found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the book should be of great interest world-wide.
