"Reading this unique field guide will be extremely rewarding for anyone who enjoys fishing, aquariums, and aquatic ecosystems. The book's well-organized format and very readable text, supplemented with numerous outstanding illustrations, provide an excellent scientific introduction to the world's little known ichthyofauna. Moyle's presentation is a stimulating summary of fish biology with aquatic ecosystem assessments by an experienced teacher interested in protecting habitats and maintaining species diversity."—Jack DeForest, Audubon Naturalist News
