Much more is known about th behavior and capabilities of the fish than most of us realize. In fact, a majority of the idle questions we have all asked of ourselves at one time or another (Do fish sleep? Can they distinguish color? Can they hear?) have been answered by modern scientists. Yet the answers to these and hundreds of other questions were buried in technical journals and consequently unavailable to most of us until Bria Curtis wrote this remarkable book, a comprehensive survey of practically everything worth knowing about fish. Includes an Index.
