Description

This is a 1994 reprint of an original publication by Ira La Rivers published in 1962. This is a very comprehesive guide to the palentology, taxonomy and description of native and introduced species of Nevada fishes. The author gives a candid view, based on his research, of all the major water systems (lakes, rivers) within Nevada. The fishes are presented in systematic order and documents the original descriptions, diagonosis and life history information for each of the entries. Keys are supplied where appropriate. The volume is lavishly illustrated with photographs (black & white), drawings, maps, and tables documenting the condition of Nevada fishes in 1962. The author is candid in his assessment of the state approach to fish management. The edition contains a Glossary, a Bibliography and is fully Indexed, pp 1-782.
