Presentation of the book
From deadly fish to great travelers, the reader will be able to discover strange creatures and small wonders with sometimes unknown behaviors.
The Secret Life of Fish is a book divided into seven chapters and prefaced by Jeremy Wade, presenter of the shows "In Troubled Waters" and "Mysteries of the Deep".
The author, Doug Mackay-Hope, is a biologist and executive producer in the BBC's Natural History Unit in Bristol. He has collaborated on numerous television programs and documentary films.
This lovely book offers to discover the amazing truth about our aquatic cousins. How fish think, what they know, their experiences and the things we have in common.
50 species of fish referenced
Freshwater fishing enthusiasts can consult the sheets on eel, pike, burbot, trout or catfish. For those who fish at sea, sardines and bluefin tuna have their own sheets. Please note that many of the fish species described are exotic species that are difficult to catch with a line, such as the bamboo shark or the picasso triggerfish.
For each species described, a map reveals its location across the globe. Drawings and photographs adorn this beautiful book in which you can discover atypical information. Did you know that goldfish have a pretty good memory and that with training they can recognize faces or that a sunfish can have a wingspan of 4.20 meters? No relevant advice for fishing enthusiasts, but a book rather intended for young people interested in the aquatic world and its fascinating universe.
