But it can be difficult to accurately identify and record these quick-moving animals underwater. This authoritative, beautifully illustrated photographic guide offers a practical, easy-to-use approach for identifying the fish species commonly seen in the waters around Britain and Ireland, as well as a few vagrant and interesting rare species. The book's concise text explains how fish can be identified underwater, and is accompanied by numerous photographs of each species in its natural environment and diagrams illustrating key features. The book also clearly indicates the cases when underwater species identification is more difficult. Published in association with the UK's Marine Conservation Society, the book makes an invaluable addition to the series of marine photographic titles of Seasearch, a species recording project for volunteer sports divers.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures individual descriptions of more than 150 species, with information on size, depth range, habitat and distribution in the Seasearch guide icon format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrates every species in its natural underwater environment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmphasises key identification features and possible confusion species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a \"confidence guide\" distinguishing between easily recognisable species and those requiring closer examination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures longer sections highlighting interesting species, behaviours and other topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides information on protected species, taxonomy, shifting distributions and conservation status\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLin Baldock\u003c\/b\u003e is a biologist, a fully qualified commercial diver and an environmental consultant who has also worked as an academic researcher. \u003cb\u003eFrances Dipper\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer, lecturer and independent marine consultant who runs marine fish identification courses for marine consultancies and for Seasearch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 8.2 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42154008805511,"sku":"9780691249018","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9ed259d25b5f05d4785103e01a11a700.webp?v=1733225997","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/inshore-fishes-of-britain-and-ireland-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
