5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic, practical field guide and reference book., November 8, 2000

Lee-Ann Fargher (Grahamstown, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Complete Guide to the Freshwater Fishes of Southern Africa (Paperback)

Covering not only specifics on species,distribution and family keys, but information on the regions studied, its biogeography and a guide to collection preservation and measurment of fish specimens. This book also looks at conservation, classification, relationships between fish and man, fish biology and a bit on the geographical influences on the fishes looked at.

A fantastic guide for both the layman (amateur or general interest)and the scientificaly minded. A "Robert's Birds" of Freshwater Fishes of Southern Africa
