Fish Identification June 5, 2009
J. Bowzer
The book is helpful in identifying fish species found in North America. It does require some knowledge of identification to be useful. Overall, the book fulfills most field identification needs.
North American Freshwater Fishes February 9, 2009

After a recent dive trip to Florida springs I needed a field guide to help me identify some of the fishes I saw. This book did the job. It appears to be very complete, which is what I needed.
 Five stars! January 17, 2007

Great book with lots of pictures of species. I hoped that there would be photos for EACH species of fish but there was not. Each fish is documented though even if there is no picture for each. Many species are shown. I still have to give it 5 stars. This book is a great size too. It is not oversized. Perfect for travel.

This book may be of interest to an icthyolgist, but it's not much use to a fisherman. The color illustrations are very poor. They all have a washed out yellowish tint, and thus the illustrated fish tend to look all alike. The non color illustrations are better, but the book relies mostly on descriptions.
An indispensible guide to fish March 1, 2006

I perform wildlife surveys for corporations all over the east coast. Half the weight of my equipment is Peterson Field Guides, which give me quick and easy identification of flora and fauna found and often eliminates the need for dicotomous keys and microscope work. This particular guide has helped me puzzle out a lot of small fish I come across. Well written, excellant illustrations, an important part of my library.
