Mizu No Seibutsu [Aquatic Creatures]

About this book

Language: Japanese

This is an illustrated book of organisms that live in aquatic environments, especially those that do not have a backbone. It introduces about 1,000 species in order of classification, from familiar creatures such as shrimp, crabs, octopuses, squids, shellfish, jellyfish, and starfish to creatures that are rarely seen. The book is packed with content, including a revised explanation of all items based on the latest international standard theory, beautiful and easy-to-understand specimen and ecological photos, a special feature on recent social issues, and columns that are useful for independent research. As it deals with a wide variety of groups of creatures, it features many creatures with completely different shapes and forms, allowing you to experience biodiversity. The bonus DVD is a satisfying 70 minutes. You can have fun learning about the amazing ecology and behaviour of aquatic creatures with Doraemon and Nobita.
