The Marlin's Fiery Eye and Other Tales from the Extraordinary World of Marine Fishes dives into the mystery and wonder of the daily lives of saltwater fishes. Joe E. Meisel introduces readers to the fascinating behaviors, remarkable adaptations, and complex life histories of the many species that call the oceans home.

From the shallows, where penetrating sunlight encourages bright colors and extravagant patterns in fish, to the abyssal depths, where extreme conditions are countered in bizarre ways, this book illuminates the staggering diversity of ocean life. Discussions of unique characteristics and lifestyles are accompanied by narratives from scientists and fish lovers, with detailed illustrations throughout. Meisel also explores the challenges facing global fisheries today, connecting the book's featured species with questions and opportunities surrounding food demand, aquaculture, and sustainability.

Each fish has a story to tell in The Marlin's Fiery Eye and Other Tales from the Extraordinary World of Marine Fishes, and through each story readers will discover an awe and fascination for the extraordinary and surprising oceanic fishes that we so rarely get to witness.
