ROM Freshwater Fishes of Ontario, Canada,
By
This review is from: The ROM Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Ontario (Paperback)
This new field guide to the freshwater fishes of Ontario is an excellent addition to the natural history and distribution of northeastern fishes. Particularly helpful is the numerous comparative photos of fish species, including the look-a-like cyprinids (minnows, shiners, dace), including the black-lined species. Also helpful is the distinctive color-paged arrangement of species accounts within the various families. This soft-covered 4 x 8 inch sized book promises to be very useful as a true field guide and a valuable fish reference.Dr. David B. Halliwell (co-author, Inland Fishes of Massachusetts, USA).

This review is from: The ROM Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Ontario (Paperback)
This is a really complete field guide. Section with main characteristics to quickly identify the family. Comparative photographs section. Section of fishes that may occur in Ontario (half a page per fish). The main section with species description contains lots of photos per specie and sometimes drawings of specific features. With every specie presented : Description, Similar species, Feeding, Reproduction, Habitat and Status.The best thing about this book is all the photos you can find in it. For each specie there are usually more than one photo wich makes it representative and easier to identify a specimen. It's also very interesting that the authors explain the origins of the latin words for every specie specialy for a book in english. The only down side so far is the fact that it's only fishes of Ontario. It would have been interesting at least to present the repartition of the species in Canada instead of Ontario. I use this book for Quebec fishes because there is no fieldguide as complete as this one made for Quebec fishes so far.

Nice regional guide, learn about fish!,

This review is from: The ROM Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes of Ontario (Paperback)
Intro pages have a pictorial key to the families & there are helpful line drawings for identification challenges. Most species get a two page spread, with colour photos, range map (only the Ontario range), descriptions, habits, and a chart of Ontario average size, record size for Ontario and record size for the world. Lists distinguishing features of similar species. Very nice, easy to use, with interesting tidbits about the fish.
