Great! I see that the publisher is still listed as Sea Challengers. I thought that they were closing their doors completely - are they going to continue with e-book versions of some of their titles?

I was surprised to see the Sea Challengers name used as well. It was put out by Pacific Books, which is the distributor that bought up the remaining stock of SC books when Dan Gotshall retired. I don't know what their plans (if any) are for other titles in the series.

The 5th edition says it contains 214 species. I count 210 species of fish in my 4th edition (revised) book (gray cover). Other than adding a handful of species, can you give an idea of what's different between 4th and 5th editions?
Thanks!

Not much is different- some of the pictures have been replaced with better ones, and species like prowfish and butter sole have been added.
