5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read, color photographs, detailed life histories, May 15, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Fishes Of Tennessee (Hardcover)

Anyone interested in the waters and fish fauna of Tennessee will HAVE to procure this book. With complete species and taxonomic descriptions of all native and exotic fish, this book also provides intimate details concerning ecology, behavior, and evolution of the class Osteichthyes. Beautiful color photos of living specimens make identification a pleasant experience using the detailed keying information. Though not inexpensive, its price is less than most other books in its class. For a technical taxonomic work it is very easy to read. I highly recommend it for any naturalist interested in aquatic fauna of the region

This review is from: Fishes Of Tennessee (Hardcover)

Whether you are an professional ichthyologist, a collector of native fishes or just someone who is curious about the aquatic fauna found in Tennessee, this is the book for you. Tennessee has more species of fishes found within its borders than any other state. This book is extremely well written and should prove an excellent value. It is simply the best available.
