This e-book was created with the aim of directing lovers of the sea, sport fishing and the young people of today to approach in a direct way to the wonderful world of nature, in particular, all that includes the fauna of the sea floor.Through it and the updates that I will publish later I will try to better describe an art perhaps unknown to many: taxidermy applied to the preparation of fish.In a context of study it is important to know that the embalming of the animal can not disregard the study of morphology in textbooks, the direct knowledge of the animal itself, its movements and its attitudes in nature.The latter notions therefore have the aim of bringing as many people as possible to nature, no matter what means .... Nature itself will know how to be loved as it deserves and for what it is worth.While in the first two volumes birds and mammals, are followed by most hunters, this third volume I think will attract the sympathy of another category of nature lovers such as fishermen and lovers of the seabed.Please note: there may be grammatical errors due to my lack of knowledge with foreign languages (original language: Italian)
