This is an essential reference that provides the original description of genera and species, and any additional references showing the current status of a species, and data on the materials examined of species for research study. The diagnostic characters can be easily examined by an unaided eye or by a binocular dissecting microscope with transmitted light. The characters will be based on materials examined. Provides diagnostic characters which are unique for a species or a combination of characters to differentiate each species from its congenersIncludes both verbal and technical aspects with color illustrations of the particular part of the fish showing the distinguishing characterPresents diagnostic characters, illustrations or images of the fish and of its parts showing the unique character and distribution to make it easy for species identification INDICE: 1.
