Jeffrey B. Marliave, Transactions of the American Fisheries Society 122: 511-512, 1993.
. . . enjoyably readable . . . deliberately eclectic. . . [a] highly intellectual and interpretive review of the science and technology of working with captive seawater fishes. . . . Because of [the] high level of intellectual challenge and the lucid aspect of the primary text, this book will probably stand as a frequent literature citation for the next quarter century. . . . The primary audience may be public aquarists, but aquarium hobbyists as well as all fisheries biologists and aquaculturists who rely on tanks and seawater systems will be grateful for this most absorbing book.
Doug Robbin, Aquarium Frontiers, Fall 1995
. . . a definitive text for any one keeping marine fish, and required reading for those who are seriously committed to the enterprise of maintaining fish in artificial environments. . . . it's all here - the "state of the art" in science and technique for the maintenance of health marine aquaria in general and fishes in particular. This book belongs in the library of all dedicated to that project. It is well written with a lively style and the information is presented in an accessible form, given the rigor of its content.
