About this title

Review:

"This is an authoritative and broad survey on the fishes inhabiting California's inland waters. Professionals and amateurs will find valuable information on the ecology of California's six major drainages and the 132 fish species, both native and exotic, that call them home. Population distributions, life histories, social behavior, and feeding habits are all meticulously examined.... At the same time, Moyle highlights those critical differences that make each species indispensable and worthy of protection.... Moyle includes excellent species-specific illustrations."-from "Ten Books Every California Naturalist Should Own," California Wild
