Common Reef Fishes of North Sulawesi,Indonesia,
This book is  a cooperative achivement by the Third Institute of Oceanography, State Oceani Administration with Indonesia  Ocean Research Center. This program investigated reef fish 325 species, among of them 176 species belonging to 39 families, 9 orders are selected to be edited in this book. Their ecological pictures and distributions, taxonomy, Chinese names and Indonesia names, living environment, length, morphology and color etc.  are provided. 
 
In the southeastern part of the strait, in Bitung, a city with a population of about 180,000 people (2010 census), the coast is lined with docks housing palm oil plants and other industries. Howerver, despite this, Lembeh Strait is still in a good state. It has clear wate and well known to tourists, due to its beautiful scenery. Our study sites covered the entire strait, including the north and south openings.
The wate visibility in Bunaken and Likupang is up to 35-40 m and the biodiversity is one of the highest in the world, particularly for corals, fish, echinoderms and sponges. For instance, 7 of the 8 of giant clams species that occur in the world can be found here, along with 70 genera of corals and nearly 70% of all fish species (about 2500) known to occur in the Indo-western Pacific.
Nine sites in Lembeh Strait and eleven sites in Likupang and Bunaken were investigated using Underwater Visual Census (fig.2), but coverage was Limited to shallow reef fishes that are wholly or mainly confined to coral reefs of less than about 30 m depth. In total, 325 reef-associated fish species were crecorded from North Sulawesi, of which 176 were photographed, belonging to 9 orders, and 39 families. Most of the fishes (146 species) belong to the Perciformes. The Pomacentridae predominate (38 speices), followed by the Labridae (25 speices), the Chaetodontidae (18 speices), the Apogonidae and Serranidae (7 speices), and the Pomacanthidae and Acanthuridae (6 speices)
 
There are 176 species in this field guide, ranging in length from 1.7 to 130cm; 153 of them are harmless, while other 22 fish species are either venomous or poisonous. Here, venomous means that the individual fish can deliver or inject venom into other organisms, using a specialized apparatus; the venom is produced in a gland attached to this apparatus. ...
本书是国家海洋局第三海洋研究所与印尼科学院海洋研究中心的合作成果。合作双方在珊瑚礁三角区(CTI)的中心区域--北苏拉威西海已经完成了3次多学科联合调查,内容涉及鱼类、珊瑚、海绵、红树林、海草床、浮游生物和底栖生物等。珊瑚礁鱼类设19个调查断面,采用国际通用的水下视觉普查法,水下调查珊瑚礁鱼类325种,选择其中的9目39科176种进行了生态图谱的编撰。每个种列出了其生态图及其分布图,并列出了分类、中印尼俗名、栖息环境、长度、形态和色彩、生物学信息、IUCN濒危等级、人类利用情况等若干信息,以给读者提供全面详实的信息。
