Reviews

Booknews

In this update of the 1996 edition, Moyle and Cech (wildlife, fish, and conservation biology, U. of California, Davis) present a text for fish biology classes venturing beyond the traditional focus on the systematics, anatomy, and distribution of fishes. The 37 chapters are organized into sections on: an introduction to the field; structure and form; fish systematics, genetics, evolution, and species; zoogeography; and ecology. The authors conclude that a major change in the world's ethical climate is the only way most of the world's fishes and aquatic systems will continue to survive. Includes a 66-page bibliography. First copyright date is 1982. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
