• Authoritative, up-to-date, provocative chapters written to suggest future research priorities
• An important companion and successor to The Ecology of Fishes on Coral Reefs
• Includes discussions of regulation of fish populations, dispersal or site fidelity of larval reef fishes, sensory and motor capabilities of reef fish larvae, and complexities of management of reef species and communities
• Includes provocative reviews covering the major areas of reef fish ecology
• The included syntheses provide readers with the current highlights in this exciting science
