Synopsis

An encyclopedia of the many kinds of fish, reptiles and amphibians living in the world's freshwater environments, from river catchments and swift-flowing streams to murky swamps and clearwater lakes. The book begins with an introduction to freshwater biology, and then contains fully illustrated directories profiling over 650 fish, turtles, newts and crocodiles. The species are presented with superb illustrations, and there are maps and quick-reference data panels to pinpoint distribution, habitat, food, size and breeding habits. With over 700 glorious images to assist identification, this information-packed resource is likely to appeal to anglers and aquarium enthusiasts, as well as to the general reader.

Featuring over 650 fish, reptiles and amphibians, including salmon, chubs, bass, catfish, darters, eels, cichlids, piranhas, tetras, turtles, crocodiles and many more. A detailed reference section covers anatomy, senses, classification, breeding and feeding, with superb illustrations. Stunning pictorial reconstructions show the major types of freshwater habitat – from cool lakes to tropical swamps – and the creatures you are likely to find in them.  Species are profiled in encyclopedic continental sections, with key information on distinguishing physical features, lifestyle and habits.
