Fishes in the Fresh Waters of Florida: An Identification Guide and Atlas
By Robert H. Robins, Lawrence M. Page, James D. Williams, Zachary S. Randall, and Griffin E. Sheehy
This new book is an essential identification guide to the 222 species of fishes in Florida’s fresh waters. Presenting each species with color photographs, key characteristics for identification, comparisons to similar species, habitat descriptions, and dot distribution maps, this book provides important information to help us monitor and take care of Florida’s water and its aquatic inhabitants.
The five authors are researchers affiliated with the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida. We hope you enjoy these behind-the-scenes photos that show their extensive fieldwork collecting and photographing fish for the book.
