| Abstract | "[E]xamines the diversity, utilization, and safeguarding against the world's most dangerous fish species. It covers the biological and ecological factors that differentiate each species in the Scorpaeninae (Scorpionfish) subfamily and Pteroinae (Lionfish) subfamily of the family Scorpaenidae. This book offers important anatomical and identification information on marine scorpionfishes, and delves into the diversity, habitats, and behaviors of each venomous species. It also discusses the health risks that can plague the fish in and out of the wild, such as types of parasites"--Page 4 of cover. |
