Understanding our marine species and how they have evolved provides information on managing our marine biodiversity.
Rays of the World is the first illustrated guide to the world's stingrays, skates, electric rays and sawfishes since the first ray was described by Linnaeus, the founder of modern taxonomy, in 1758.
