Fishes of the Middle Savannah River Basin

"Featuring more than 200 color photographs of species and habitats, this is the first comprehensive assessment of the fishes of the Middle Savannah River Basin of Georgia and South Carolina. The book identifies and discusses 101 native and introduced species from 26 fish families - approximately 70% of the native species in the entire Savannah River drainage area. Illustrated in color with photographs and a local distribution map, each species account describes the fish's appearance, meristic features, size, biology, habitat, conservation status, similarities to other species, and geographic range.

The book also discusses the Savannah River, tributary streams, reservoirs, and ponds from the 1950s to the present detailing ecological changes, habitats, and associated fish assemblages."--Jacket.
