Presentazione:

Blennies of the Mediterranean Sea is an outstanding reference book, accessible and engaging. Francesco Tiralongo teaches us masterfully how to distinguish each species but also what it means to be a blenny, considering biological and ecological details. About sixty color illustrations and sixty hand-made drawings and details of the key taxonomic characters will guide the reader towards a rapid, easy and certain identification of 31 species (plus some Atlantic species), which can be found in Mediterranean waters. This Guide is a fundamental reference for Mediterranean ichthyologists and a useful and inspiring tool for anyone else interested in the field of marine biodiversity, such as divers, fishermen and other sea lovers. Nomina si nescis, perit et cognitio rerum (Linneus, 1755). If you do not know the names of things, the knowledge of things themselves perishes. This was the fundamental principle of taxonomy, the science of describing, naming, and classifying living organisms. This was also the merit of this book, a wonderful contribution to the knowledge and conservation of this fascinating and understudied group of marine species.
