An atlas of freshwater and marine catfishes a preliminary survey of the Siluriformes
No book has ever attempted to deal with the catfishes (all 32 families) in their entirety -- until now. Here is a definitive book on catfishes dealing with the more than 2000 species. The text treats the catfishes family by family, giving for each the morphological characters as well as any biological information that may be available. A key to the genera contained within the family is offered whenever possible, & descriptions of each genus are provided along with an outline drawing of a species of almost every genus to help in generic recognition. Over 1,700 full-color photos, as well as over 400 b/w illustrations.
