"In this comprehensive scientific guide to the fishes found in the oceans around Southern Africa, Prof. Margaret Smith, widow of Prof. J.L.B. Smith, in collaboration with Dr. Philip Heemstra, has organized and motivated a team of 72 distinguished ichthyologists from 15 different countries to provide this unique, authoritative and superbly illustrated work of reference. 

Smith's Sea Fishes provides the means of identifying all the fishes known to occur in these waters. Diagnostic features, size and distribution are given for every species. Of the 2150 species described, over 1,500 are illustrated in full colour, thus making positive recognition extremely easy. (See photo of endflap for more detail)
