The newly launched book 'Atlas over danske saltvandsfisk' represents a significant achievement in the field of marine biology related to Denmark's saltwater fish. The project culminated after 16 years of research and collaboration, resulting in a three-volume atlas that weighs nearly ten kilograms and offers more than 2,000 pages of detailed information. It is reported to be the most comprehensive publication ever created about the saltwater fish inhabiting Danish seas, aiming to serve as a valuable resource for both professionals and enthusiasts alike.

Henrik Carl, one of the key contributors from the Statens Naturhistoriske Museum, has spent years conducting field research by snorkeling at numerous locations along the Danish coasts. His approach highlights the importance of hands-on research in identifying smaller fish species. The atlas also benefits from contributions by commercial fishermen who reported their catches and local citizens who provided observations of fish found along the beaches, creating a rich tapestry of data that supports the book's findings.

This publication not only emphasizes the diversity of marine life in Danish waters but also encourages in-depth studies and discussions about conservation and fish management. It serves as an informative guide for fish enthusiasts and underscores the collaborative efforts between scientists, fishermen, and the community in environmental documentation and marine biodiversity studies.
