Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A handy guide to identifying the fish that are to be found in rock pools and between tide limits on our shores.

A reprint from Field Studies, it still retains the original page numbering.

Examine in the Hand ( Stereo Microscope is also useful)
Specimen PreparationLive specimens in a clear glass seawater container, preferably anaesthetized with TMS (Tricane Methane Sulfonate - marketed as MS222) which causes less stress than handling the unanaesthetized fish.
