It can be read in complementary ways. A sequential reading, chapter by chapter, covers the main themes of ecology, including habitat use, species interactions, migration, feeding, population dynamics and reproduction in realtion to the major habitats occupied by fishes. An alternative reading selects a particular sort of habitat, such as rivers, and by skipping from chapter to chapter, builds up a picture of the ecology of fishes living in that habitat.
