"Shores, seas and oceans are home to thousands of animals: from the mightiest sharks to jewel-like reef fish and armored crabs. This mini encyclopedia provides a guide to marine creatures from every sea and ocean. Each entry includes a table of information on scientific name, order and family, features, habitat, distribution, diet and breeding. By including fascinating examples from all of the world's major marine families, this is a comprehensive overview of marine dwellers from every sea and ocean and gives a sense of the incredible diversity of marine life. Organized in approximate order of evolutionary complexity, the entries are grouped by order, then within each order by family (and, where necessary, within each family by subfamilies); each family section contains examples of the key species, which are illustrated with beautifully detailed, full-color artworks."--Provided by publisher.

Sparrow, Giles, 1970-
