FAMILIAR FRESHWATER FISHES-OF AMERICA

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 1, 1964

Over 100 species are the subject of Howard Walden's volume in the Familiar natural history series. Ranging from the East to the West Coast, he covers trouts, Atlantic and Pacific salmon, pickerels, sunfishes, pikes, carp, bass, catfishes, shads, eels and lampreys. The life pattern, spawning habits and attendant changes in habitat and appearance, gloomy odds for survival to adulthood, are all considered, as are the ways in which the fish are caught (successful baits are noted). The information is notably specific and of interest to anyone inclined to natural history.
