Description:
This book marks the culmination of ichthyological research extending back to 1835, when Darwin was the first to collect fishes from the Galapagos. It thoroughly documents and illustrates the fishes of the islands in the hope that the results will provide an identification guide for visitors to the Galapagos National Park, a comprehensive reference source, and a baseline for future assessment of possible environmental degradation. The book treats 437 species (some of which are newly recorded), including the 41 endemics, and all known species from freshwater and nearshore habitats and in open-ocean waters with 100 km of the islands.
Condition
Vg in d/w. From the library of Prof. J. Green (1928-2016) with his name to endpaper.
