T

he Second Edition of Fishes of Arkansas, in development for more than a decade, is an extensive revision and expansion of the First Edition, including reclassifications, taxonomic changes, and descriptions of more than thirty new species.

An invaluable reference for anyone interested in the state’s fish population — from professional ichthyologists, fisheries biologists, and managers of aquatic resources, to amateur naturalists and anglers — this new edition provides updated taxonomic keys as well as detailed descriptions, photographs, and line drawings to aid identification of the state’s 241 fish species.

There is also much information on the distribution and biology of each species, including descriptions of habitat, foods eaten, reproductive biology, and conservation status.

This project and the preparation of this publication was funded in part by a grant from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.
