Fishes of Utah: A Natural History

Following an introduction providing information on Utah's landforms and water bodies, fisheries management, fishing in Utah, water law, and the federal statutes that affect the management of water resources, the major portion of the volume is devoted to a species-by-species account of all fishes established in Utah waters. Information offered includes their life histories, descriptions, and management, with details on feeding habits, range, growth, breeding, longevity, and limiting factors such as predation, competition, and habitat loss. Includes an illustrated key to all Utah species as well as 48 color plates by highly-regarded scientific fish illustrator, Joseph Tomelleri. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
