THE FIRST COMPLETE pictorial atlas of the world’s rays is filled with beautiful illustrati­ons by Dr Lindsay Marshall, an Australian scientist and natural history artist (see page 30). Lindsay’s intricate works include all 633 species of ray. These are complement­ed by taxonomic and distributi­on informatio­n, and the natural history of the wider group of fish. The hope is that this guide will significan­tly improve identifica­tion and research on rays around the world.
