Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
What do you think of when you think of a fish? You probably think of a brightly colored animal flashing quickly through the water. You might even think of something to eat!
Fish come in a huge variety of shapes, sizes and colors. They range from the extraordinary Red Indian fish to the jigsaw triggerfish; from the Hawaiian boxfish darting through the coral to the bright red warty frogfish gliding through the ocean.
Yet all fish have certain things in common. These things make them different from the other animals that live in the oceans, lakes and rivers of the world. We shall be looking at some of them in this book.
