Coastal Fishes of South-Eastern Australia is the first book to cover almost all the unknown fish species from the coastal waters of eastern Australia, ranging from northern New South Wales to western Victoria. It comprises 142 families and 855 species, all illustrated with at least one colour photograph, but including juvenile stages, different male-female forms, and colour variants of the same species where appropriate. The great majority of the species were photographed in their natural environment. The primary purpose of the book is to identify fishes living in the area covered, and it has been designed to accommodate fishermen, divers, students and scientists. The fishes are arranged scientifically from the highest class down to the species, based on the latest revisions. Scientific keys are provided down to the family level, and similar or closely related species are placed near each other. In addition, a pictorial key to the families is provided. Each level of classification has an introduction, and each species has a general description, mostly based on external features. The species description is followed by information on distribution in Australia and elsewhere, habitat, interesting behaviour, and size. Great importance has been placed on the use of common names, and on uniformity throughout the entire book.

This book traces the discovery of Australia’s fishes from the earliest days of taxonomy to the first part of the 20th century. It provides a unique insight into the diverse pathways by which Australia’s fish were discovered and outlines the history of early maritime explorations in Australia that collected natural history specimens. The book covers the life and work of each of the most important discoverers, and assesses their accomplishments and the limitations of their work. Discovery of Australia’s Fishes is distinctive in that a biographic approach is integrated with chronological descriptions of the discovery of the Australian fish fauna. Many of northern Australia’s fishes are found in parts of the Indian and western Pacific oceans. The book covers the work of collectors who travelled outside Australia, together with that of the British and European zoologists who received and described their collections. The account ceases at 1930, the year the first modern checklist of Australian fishes was published. 2012 Whitley Award Commendation for Historical Zoology.
