About the Book

This is a lucidly written field guide describing 75 taxa of fishes that commonly inhabit the fresh waters of Peninsular India. This can serve as a good addition to the existing Biology textbooks as many of the species have not been studied until now. The book is lavishly illustrated with black and white illustrations, line drawings as well as colour photographs. Common English and local names are given in addition to scientific nomenclature for the fishes.
