Reviews
"Robert Werner’s field guide offers identifications keys, general life history, and distribution information on the freshwater fishes of New England and New York. As noted in the preface, most field guides on fishes of particular states from this region are out of print. Also, fauna differ significantly among the states of this region. Thus, this regional field guide serves the scientist, student, or lay person whose needs go beyond state boundaries...An easy-to-use identification field guide that provided interesting information and fine illustrations. It should be quite useful to those seeking information on the freshwater fishes of the northeastern region."
