Book Description
Tasha is an adventurous young mermaid with a deep love for the ocean and a longing to explore the world above the waves. When a magical sea witch grants her the gift of legs, Tasha seizes the opportunity to venture onto land for the first time. At camp, Tasha is dismayed to find humans wrapped in fabric to imitate mermaids, hindering their ability to swim properly. Driven by a sense of responsibility, Tasha decides to establish a mermaid camp of her own to teach children the true art of swimming like a mermaid. At Mermaid Camp, Tasha emphasizes full-body swimming techniques and warns against relying solely on the knees to prevent injury. But it's not all about swimming - Tasha also instills in her campers a passion for protecting the planet. Through beach cleanups and other hands-on activities, Tasha shows them how to become advocates for clean oceans and appreciate the beauty of the sea and its wildlife. As Tasha guides the children on an enlightening journey from sea to land, this heartwarming tale reminds us of the power of individual actions and how one mermaid's mission can make a difference. With relatable characters and a timely message about environmental awareness, "Mermaid Tasha Goes to Camp" is an entertaining story for readers of all ages.

Book Description
Mermaid Sealeigh is from the Indian Ocean. She is a blue dragon mermaid, and she has dragon transformation powers, meaning she can change the color and shape of her tail and hair. She can also change into other beings like unicorns, fairies, and even humans - though she likes being a mermaid best. She likes to model her tail like the Glaucus atlanticus because she loves their color scheme and shape of their phalanges. She also shares their love of eating jellyfish particularly the Portuguese Man of War, which unfortunately makes her venomous to the touch after she eats them. She loves to dance and often visits the mainland to see the belly dancers work with silk veils, swords, and fans. One day she got caught up in a terrible hurricane that swept her clean across the globe and smack dab into a pool at a hotel in Ocean City MD. Weak from the ordeal she couldn't use her transformation powers and was stuck there. The pool water was making her sick because of all the chemicals. Some human children came to her aid and brought her food, but none of it was what she was used to. She was also terribly lonely without any other mermaids to be with her. At a loss of what else to do the human children sought out Mermaid Tasha and asked her to come rescue Sealeigh. Tasha came with her pirate friends and they were able to get Sealeigh back to her natural environment. In exchange for their help, Sealeigh promised to help Tasha with cleaning up the seas and spread the word about being kind to the environment. Even though Ocean City isn't Sealeigh's home, she loves to visit her good friend Tasha and all her lovely human environmental warriors.

Book Description
Successor to the classic work in shark studies, The Elasmobranch Fishes by John Franklin Daniel (first published 1922, revised 1928 and 1934), Sharks, Skates, and Rays provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of elasmobranch morphology. Coverage has been expanded from anatomy to include modern information on physiology and biochemistry. The new volume also provides equal treatment for skates and rays. The authors present general introductory material for the relative novice but also review the latest technical citations, making the book a valuable primary reference resource. More than 200 illustrations supplement the text.

Book Description
Major world fisheries for elasmobranchs are described in regard to their importance, recent trends, problems for assessment and management, conservation and the outlook for their sustainability. The analysis considers trends and outlooks in FAO's statistical areas, individual accounts of fisheries by the major elasmobranch fishing nations and the high seas fisheries that have significant by catches of elasmobranchs. Information on species, gears, patterns of exploitation, research and management of elasmobranchs is summarized for each of these countries. The general problems in appraising and managing elasmobranch fisheries and the need for conservation are discussed and possible solutions for some of these problems are proposed.

Book Description
Comprising by far the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, fishes occupy a broad swathe of habitats ranging from the deepest ocean abyss to the highest mountain lakes. Such incredible ecological diversity and the resultant variety in lifestyle, anatomy, physiology and behavior, make unraveling the evolutionary history of fishes a daunting task. The successor of a classic volume by the same title, Interrelationships of Fishes, provides the latest in the "state of the art" of systematics and classification for many of the major groups of fishes. In providing a sound phylogenetic framework from leading authorities in the field, this book is an indispensable reference for a broad range of biologists, especially students of fish behavior, anatomy, physiology, molecular biology, genetics and ecology--in fact, anyone who wishes to interpret their work on fishes in an evolutionary context. Provides thorough and comprehensive treatment of the Phylogency of fishes Assembles an International team of expert contributors Useful to a wide variety of fish biologists
