Lake Michigan, winding creeks, sprawling swamps, and one of the
world's great rivers--Illinois's variety of aquatic habitats makes
the Prairie State home to a diverse array of fishes. The first book
of its kind in over forty years, An Atlas of Illinois Fishes is a
combination of nature guide and natural history. It provides
readers with an authoritative resource based on the extensive
biological data collected by scientists since the mid-1850s. Each
of the entries on Illinois's 217 current and extirpated fish
species offers one or more color photographs; maps depicting
distributions at three time periods; descriptions of identifying
features; notes on habitat preference; and comments on
distribution. In addition, the authors provide a pictorial key for
identifying Illinois fishes. Scientifically up-to-date and
illustrated with over 240 color photos, An Atlas of Illinois Fishes
is a benchmark in the study of Illinois's ever-changing fish
communities and the habitats that support them.
There are nearly 1,000 species of freshwater fishes in North
America alone, and identifying them can sometimes be a daunting
task. In fact, in just the twenty years since publication of the
first edition of the "Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes,"
the number of species has risen by almost 150, including 19 marine
invaders and 16 newly established nonnative species. This second
edition incorporates all of these new species, plus all-new maps
and a collection of new and revised plates. Some of the species can
be told apart only by minute differences in coloration or shape,
and these beautifully illustrated plates reveal exactly how to
distinguish each species.
The guide includes detailed maps and information showing where to
locate each species of fish--whether that species can be found in
miles-long stretches of river or small pools that cover only dozens
of square feet. The ichthyologic world of the twenty-first century
is not the same as it was in the twentieth, and this brand-new
edition of the definitive field guide to freshwater fishes reflects
these many changes.
This book is a comprehensive identification guide to the 222
species of fishes in Florida's fresh waters. Each species is
presented with color photographs, key characteristics for
identification, comparisons to similar species, habitat
descriptions, and dot distribution maps. Florida's unique mix of
species includes some of the world's favorite sport fishes, the
Tarpon and Largemouth Bass. This guide also features three species
native only to Florida-the Seminole Killifish, Flagfish, and
Okaloosa Darter-and the smallest freshwater fish in North America,
the Least Killifish. Ranging from the panhandle to the Everglades,
their habitats include springs, creeks, rivers, lakes, ponds,
swamps, marshes, and man-made canals. As Florida's human population
grows, the state's freshwater environments are being changed in
ways that threaten its native fishes. This book provides important
information on the diversity, distribution, and environmental needs
of both native and nonindigenous species, helping us monitor and
take care of Florida's water and its aquatic inhabitants.
