From the Back Cover

For twenty years, readers of The New York Times have looked forward to the Science Times section every Tuesday as one of the few national forums for high-quality science writing for the layman and an authoritative source for scientists as well. Its features, written by award-winning journalists, deliver cutting-edge information and lucid analysis.The Science Times Book of Fish collects the best articles on fish and other creatures of the sea from Science Times, exploring the biology and environments of aquatic life from the oceans' deepest reaches to lakes and rivers throughout the world. Among the book's surprising discoveries are that the orange roughy lives to be 150 years old and reaches sexual maturity at 30, the cichlids of Africa's Lake Victoria mate for life, and a deep-sea multi-stomached jellyfish exists that can grow as large as a blue whale.With this extraordinary volume comes the satisfaction of having gained a priceless new understanding of the world in which we live. (71/4 X 91/2, 244 pages, illustrations)
