Here is remarkable book with about 4000 entries of fish. Each listing has a back and white drawing of the fish, its name, average size, food value, special features (for example, brilliant yellow tail), feed, and the area of the world where this fish is found.The author states that there are over 400,000 kinds of fish in the world, which are all in any good library of scientific books.For a beginner learning about fish, the fundamentals are set down in this work so as to build a foundation to learn more if desired. A researcher will find answers for many questions throughout this amazing collection of entries. It is very through with hard to find information. For example, the first 13 pages are devoted to sharks-diagram of the parts of a shark with description, illustrations and descriptions of man-eating sharks, large sharks mostly harmless, shallow water sharks, deep water sharks, dangerous sharks, unusual sharks, small sharks, medium sized sharks, and so on. Then there is the section of the ray family, and so on.So much research has gone into this book. At the same time, it is appropriate for any age, for any one with a curiosity to know.
This is an old school fish book with lots of interesting stories and facts about fish that most guides don't include. The illustrations are unique. I remember it from when I was a kid and was happy to find it here.
Simply one of the two best books for identifying books in this region (southeastern United States and Caribbean) -- that's from personal knowledge/experience. Literally, every fish we've ever caught has been in this soft-cover 130+ page gem.Rube Allen, a former Sports/Fishing writer from a St. Petersburg FL newspaper, is experienced (first hand) and shares a wealth of informtion. Not only do you see what the fish looks like, you'll know where it haunts, what it feeds on, if it's edible, (food-value) and lots of other intersting information in a concise format (basically, a paragraph or two/three per fish).....Anyway, though I'm only experienced with the fish in this region, the information contained is accurate and useful. I believe from that, you may safely assume that the fishes found elsewhere would have accurate information as well.Continuing, aboard our boat we had numerous books. This (and one other -- Florida Fishing by Gordon Lewis) were the two most frequently referenced fish books we owned. My own copy is ragged, taped together and full of notes. Any copy would be a valuable addition to your collection.Buy it!
