About this book

The Sultanate of Oman, at the south-eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula borders on three different bodies of Ocean: the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Gulf. This beautifully illustrated book is the first to bring the diverse inshore fish fauna of Oman under one cover.

Recent fieldwork by the author and colleagues has in#creased the number of known shore fishes (defined as those occurring in less than 200 metres) to 930, all of which are treated in this volume. A surprising 52 new species of in#shore fishes of Oman (four of which required new generic names) were collected during the recent fieldwork; these had to be described in scientific papers to make the names available for this book. All of the species are illustrated, mostly in colour.

The family and species accounts are written to be understood by the layman (a glossary and dia#grams are provided to explain scientific terms), but with enough detail and references to serve the needs of profes#sional biologists. Coastal Fishes of Oman will promote appreciation of the unique fish fauna of Oman, provide a much-needed inventory of this invaluable resource, and form the basis for future fisheries management.
