| Mary and I lived in Oman from August 2001 until March 2006, after spending some 13 years in Jeddah on the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast. We are now both retired and living in Malta. We have been photographing and studying reef fishes since 1989 and have built a library of photographs of about 600 species present around the Arabian peninsula, which includes the Red Sea, Gulf of Oman and Southern Oman (Arabian Sea). The photos concentrate on facilitating identification and some Red Sea photos were used to illustrate our identification guide 'Reef Fishes of the Red Sea' (published by Kegan Paul Int. in 1998). |
