It is also an equally needed compendium of information on the ecology of those early life stages! as well as a summary of the distribution! habitat! and reproductive biology of their parents?" Darrel E. Snyder! Colorado State University! from the Foreword"The fish fauna of the Ohio River Drainage includes a large proportion of the fishes of eastern North America! including many species whose ranges extend well beyond the Ohio River. For that reason these volumes are valuable beyond the Ohio River drainage. They provide a systematic approach to the study of early life histories of fishes and are useful as a guide to scientists and managers beyond the region! even in areas such as western North America. This series will prove useful to scientists and managers from state and federal agencies! to industry and consulting firm staff dealing with river fish issues! and to faculty and students in regional universities." James R. Karr! University of Washington "Provides invaluable information for anyone interested in protecting the spawning grounds or habitat of the fish. ?represents the definitive authority on the subject and represent a type of research that has been all to infrequent in these days of bioinformatics and concentrations on things like gene analysis." -Books-On-Line Informationen zum Autor Thomas P.
