"Part Two in the Fishes of the Western North Atlantic series describes the sawfishes, guitarfishes, skates, rays, and chimaeroids that inhabit the waters adjacent to the eastern coastline of North and Central America and the northern portion of South America. Specialist authorships of its sections include detailed species descriptions with keys, life history and general habits, abundance, range, and relation to human activity, such as economic and sporting importance.
