This is the sixteenth issue in the FAO series of worldwide annotated and illustrated catalogues of major groups of organisms that enter marine fisheries. It contains the 159 species in 15 genera known from the serranid subfamily Epinephelinae, including one species new to science. There is an introductory section with general remarks on habitat and fisheries of the family, a glossary of technical terms, an illustrated key to each genus and all species, and a detailed account for all species. Species accounts include an illustration of each species, scientific and vernacular names, and information on habitat, biology, fisheries, size, relevant literature, and distribution.

This, and the following volumes of native fish species of the South China Sea are a basic guide to fish identification, listing with a colour picture and general description all native fish species over the length of 10cm, and an additional volume covering mini species, under a maximum total length of 10cm. Fish are listed in family name order starting with the letter "A" and Latin name first, descriptions will also list English name if available, Habitat, maximum length, weight, age, trophic level, distribution range, and IUCN red list if applicable, this volume covers D-TO-L of Latin (scientific Names) followed by English name. The South China Sea is one of the most disputed bodies of water in the world and has been for many years, however in this case fish do not swim to borders and therefor the life below goes on and in many cases thrive, there are unfortunately a few species, mainly sharks that are exploited and caught for their fins alone and thrown back to the water to die, as with any species conservation should take precedence and be enforced.

This book is the first on the history of the marine fisheries of Southeast Asia. It takes as its central theme the movement of fisheries into new fishing grounds, particularly the diverse ecosystems that make up the seas of Southeast Asia. This process accelerated between the 1950s and 1970s in what the author calls the great fish race . Catches soared as the population of the region grew, demand from Japan and North America for shrimps and tuna increased, and fishers adopted more efficient ways of locating, catching, and preserving fish. But the great fish race soon brought about the severe depletion of one fish population after another, while pollution and the destruction of mangroves and coral reefs degraded fish habitats. Today the relentless movement into new fishing grounds has come to an end, for there are no new fishing grounds to exploit. The frontier of fisheries has closed. The challenge now is to exploit the seas in ways that preserve the diversity of marine life while providing the people of the region with a source of food long into the future.
