Industry Reviews
This comprehensive treatise enables users to identify 267 species of fish found in Chesapeake Bay through a system of keys to the orders, to the families within orders, and to the species within families. Written by biologists affiliated with either academic institutions or the National Science Foundation, it offers illustrations from the Smithsonian Institution archives. An introductory section describes the physical and chemical features of the bay, the general characteristics of the fish fauna, and the five major categories of fish that inhabit the varied environments of the bay. For each species, information is presented regarding its key features, geographical distribution, economy, and fishing interest. Also included are appendixes of sport fishing records, a list of fish species rarely recorded from Chesapeake Bay with bibliographical references, a glossary of selected technical terms, and a 13-page bibliography. Suitable for collections serving scientists, fishery mangers, and fishers requiring detailed information on fish of the East Coast. Judith B. Barnett, Univ. of Rhode Island, Kingston
