Description
ABOUT THIS BOOK -- This book illustrates "how tropical [fresh water] fish communities differ from those in temperate waters." "Fish faunas in three tropical areas -- South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia -- and their geographical distribution in relation to continental movements are considered. Case histories cover studies in river communities where contrasting conditions in equatorial forest rivers (Zaire and Amazon) and season floodplain rivers exist; in lacustrine communities in the Great Lakes of Africa and some smaller lakes; and in man-made lakes, considered as experimental systems, showing how communities change from riverine to lacustrine ones." The book also considers tropical fish farming, fish growth and reproduction, and adaptations." BOOK DETAILS -- 337 pp; b&w illustrations. A 20 pp Bibliography; 3 indices; Appendices. - from Amzon
