Download or read book The Biology of Blennies written by Robert A Patzner and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2009-01-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blennies are diverse group of bony fishes found around the globe. Most blennies are small and somewhat difficult to identify, so until recently these fish did not occupy the interests of many ichthyologists and even fewer ecologists. With nearly 900 species, blennies are important members of most coastal marine communities. This book should stimulate interest in blennies among a wider array of students, and marine biologists in general.
