This fourth, completely revised edition of the definitive study of Lake
Malawi cichlids discusses and illustrates more species (843 species of
which 822 are shown in photos) than any previous publication. Basing his
study on more than 1500 hours of underwater observations all over the lake
(36 expeditions), the author characterizes the species by their habitat
preference, distribution, and coloration. More than 1750 excellent photographs
— many never published before — illustrate the cichlid fauna of the entire
lake. Almost all of these photographs were taken in the lake and show the
fishes in their natural habitat.
The book is a large edition (8" x 11") composing 424 pages.
