Sharks and Rays of Papua New Guinea

Description:
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is renowned for the diversity of its terrestrial fauna. Iconic species include the birds of paradise, tree kangaroos and the cryptic but photogenic cuscus. In contrast, the marine fauna of PNG is poorly described, despite the importance of marine resources of domestic consumption and international trade. This fine cook starts to redress this imbalance, y pointing out the significance of sharks and rays in the traditional culture of PNG and going on to provide a comprehensive account of their biological diversity.
