Book Description
"Ebert has herein assembled an enormous body of knowledge about California's 43 shark species ranging from shark and human behavior to taxonomic minutiae, along with up-to-date explanations of their ecology, status and fisheries. More importantly, his Herculean effort includes the often-overlooked 25 species of skates, rays and chimaeras. That, along with the fine illustrations of Mat Squillante, should answer any question that a student, diver, natural history buff, or recreational or commercial fisher might ask."—John E. McCosker, coauthor of Great White Shark "The timing of this publication is ideal given the status of some of California's elasmobranch populations and the need for a deeper understanding of their biology, ecology, and fishery management. The book is a comprehensive treatment—if one wants to find out the latest information on any species of shark or ray off California, this is the place to go. An outstanding work!"—Gregor M. Cailliet, Professor, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, and Director, Pacific Shark Research Center

Book Description
Maligned and misunderstood, sharks are possibly the most feared, yet the most fascinating sea creatures. Of about 350 known species of shark, only a handful are a threat to humans. In reality, it is humans who pose the greater threat, hunting and fishing some species to the verge of extinction. Diverse in appearance, they range from the tiny cookiecutter or cigar shark, to the massive whale shark. Stranger still are the rays, with names such as the banded stingaree and the Javanese cownose ray. Curiously shaped like craft from outer space, some are so highly colored they could be the creation of a whimsical painter. This book represents the most up-to-date information and thinking on our understanding of these extraordinary inhabitants of the deep - their highly developed senses and intellect, and their ecology, biology, and behavior. What is being done to protect them? In what ways are they still being exploited? Sharks and Rays highlights the advances being made in shark and ray conservation.
