Fishes of Tennessee

The waters of Tennessee are home to about three hundred species of fishes, the most diverse collection of freshwater fauna of any state in the country. This readable & authoritative book, first published in 1993, examines that diversity within the state's complex natural history. It not only synthesizes a wealth of scientific information but also presents a tremendous amount of original research. Species accounts provide information on the classification, identification, biology, distribution, taxonomy, & current status of Tennessee's fishes--many of which are endangered. Taxonomic keys provide readers with guides for distinguishing species. Extensive use is made of high-quality photographs, range maps, & drawings. For this second printing, the authors have provided corrections & updated information. This data includes seven new species accounts & new distributional information.Etnier, David A. is the author of 'Fishes of Tennessee' with ISBN 9780870497117 and ISBN 0870497111.
