Synopsis (short abstract) The present series of FAO Species Identification Sheets for Fishery Purposes (4 volumes, bony fishes only), covers the immensely larger and faunistically richer Eastern Indian Ocean and Western Central Pacific, reaching southward to southern Australia (Fishing Areas 57 and 71). Included is the Indo-Australian archipelago, a region with the richest marine fauna of any part of the world. This publication is the result of a fruitful cooperation between individual scientists, scientific institutions , projects operating in the area, regional fishery bodies, DANIDA and the Government of Thailand. Such collaboration is essential to the continued usefulness of the Sheets, their testing in the field and their subsequent revision.
