Mantas and devils are one of the most impressive creatures in the seas. Always gracefully in motion because they have to keep swimming to survive. With powerful strokes of their wing-like pectoral fins, these filterers search the sea currents for food. The horny fins on their heads used to give rise to stories about fearsome devil fish dragging boats into the depths. Nowadays they are loved by divers and marine biologists and these magnificent animals are now extensively covered in a field guide for the first time.

This English-language guide contains detailed information about the identification, characteristics, threats and distribution of all species of the ray family. Illustrated with over 200 beautiful color photographs, drawings and plates, this guide also contains an extensive introduction packed with useful information about the general taxonomy, biology and behavior of these iconic animals.
A useful reference book for every scientist, diver or enthusiast of marine systems, which can also be used in fisheries management. In short: a must-have for everyone who is involved in the ongoing efforts to research and preserve these endangered animals.
