Description

"Providing keys to more than 500 native species - accompanied by detailed distribution maps, many with drawings or photographs prepared specifically for this volume - Freshwater Fishes of Mexico offers a historical overview of the country's ichthyology as well as syntheses of the unique biogeography of Mexican fishes and their current conservation status. Organized by family, the species accounts are supplemented with a color gallery containing photographs of live fishes in their native environments and natural habitats. Exploring ecological, biological, and taxonomic issues, the book also considers the evolutionary history of the ichthyofauna themselves and chronicles the research of the scientists who have worked in the field in the last several centuries."--Jacket.
