商品描述
The Ocean Sunfishes: Evolution, Biology and Conservation is the first book to gather into one comprehensive volume our fundamental knowledge of the world-record holding, charismatic ocean behemoths in the family Molidae. From evolution and phylogeny to biotoxins, biomechanics, parasites, husbandry and popular culture, it outlines recent and future research from leading sunfish experts worldwide This synthesis includes diet, foraging behavior, migration and fisheries bycatch and overhauls long-standing and outdated perceptions. This book provides the essential go-to resource for both lay and academic audiences alike and anyone interested in exploring one of the ocean's most elusive and captivating group of fishes.

作者簡介
Dr. Tierney M. Thys is a Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, California USA. She has been captivated by the molids since the 1990s and was a member of the first team to successfully satellite tag Mola mola in the wild. She has research sites in South America and California and runs www.oceansunfish.org and the Adopt a Sunfish Project. Dr. Thys received her B.A. from Brown University and Ph.D. from Duke University.
Dr. Graeme C. Hays is the Alfred Deakin Professor of Marine Science at Deakin University, Australia. He has a long-standing interest in the movements and ecology of marine megafauna, pioneering the use of satellite tracking in the early 1990s, a technique that is now very widely used across studies with marine mammals, birds, reptiles and fish. Since encountering ocean sunfish during fieldwork on the west coast of Ireland, he has been fascinated by these extraordinary fish.
Dr. Jonathan D.R. Houghton is a Senior Lecturer in Marine Biology (i.e. Associate Professor) based at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland. His lab group focuses on the movement and foraging ecology of pelagic species from leatherback sea turtles, basking sharks and ocean sunfish through to deep oceanic jellyfish. These efforts center on marine conservation across Europe, the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and the Galápagos Islands.

Tierney M. Thys 博士是美國加州舊金山加州科學院的研究助理。自1990年代以來，她對翻車魚（Mola mola）產生了濃厚的興趣，並且是第一支成功在野外對翻車魚進行衛星標記的團隊成員。她在南美和加州有研究基地，並運營網站 www.oceansunfish.org 以及「領養翻車魚計畫」。Thys 博士在布朗大學獲得學士學位，並在杜克大學獲得博士學位。
Graeme C. Hays 博士是澳大利亞迪肯大學的阿爾弗雷德·迪肯海洋科學教授。他對海洋巨型動物的運動和生態有著長期的興趣，並在1990年代初期開創了衛星追蹤技術，這一技術現在已廣泛應用於海洋哺乳動物、鳥類、爬行動物和魚類的研究中。自從在愛爾蘭西海岸的實地工作中遇到翻車魚以來，他對這些非凡的魚類產生了濃厚的興趣。
Jonathan D.R. Houghton 博士是北愛爾蘭貝爾法斯特女王大學的海洋生物學高級講師（即副教授）。他的實驗室專注於從革背海龜、日光鯊到深海水母等浮游物種的運動和覓食生態。這些努力集中於歐洲、加勒比海、印度洋和加拉帕戈斯群島的海洋保護。
