ReviewsThe new Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Virginia takes on the daunting challenge of covering the 226 species of freshwater fishes found in the state in the abbreviated format of a true field guide. The authors succeed in this task, producing a book that is both informative and portable. The book's format makes it useful to a wide range of potential users, including fishers, professional biologists, and those interested in keeping native species in aquaria... I highly recommend the book., The Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Virginia is one of the best fish field guides I've encountered. It covers all the fish in detail, but is small enough to easily fit in a pack or carry-on bag. The illustrations are beautiful and the text focuses on information most helpful for field identification.

Well done field guide
I’m a naturalist and an angler so I’m interested in what lives in the streams that I fish. And this book reveals an amazing diversity of freshwater fishes living in Virginia. The illustrations are very good and the text concise and informative. If you are curious about the fishes and are interested in identifying them and learning something about their natural history, then this book is for you. And it’s also useful for those who live in adjoining states. Highly recommended.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
