A great little book, with plenty of biology to entertain. The author is an ecologist, and shares the ecological lesson he hopes you get from the whole ,but only towards the end. The rest is full of weird and wonderful anecdotes

Great book. I was afraid it might be too anecdotal, but the author provided plenty of studies to back u the interesting claims regarding sensation and intelligence in fish. Yes, fish, every reviewer seems to be kind enough to change the plural to fishes to make the author's point and I get it, but found it a bit annoying.

Do fish think? Or have feelings? Of course they do. If you need a book to tell you that fish are sentient, aware and social beings, then you’ve come to the right place. But even if you already know that fish are capable creatures, this book humorously shares a lot of really great myth-busting science about the breathtaking diversity and beauty in the undersea world, such as courtship rituals, tool use, parental care, socialization and more.
