Fifteen years in the making, this updated edition raises the high standard of Bigelow and Schroeder's 1953 reference by drawing from a much larger base of information. The contributors update Bigelow & Schroeder's 1953 material while presenting a wealth of new information, including thirty-three additional species accounts. By adding 50 percent more material and focusing the volume on data, the editors address the needs of today's biologists and commercial fishers.
`...an excellent revision and upgrading of Bigelow and coauthors' monumental work.'&o; W.B. Scott, co-author of The Atlantic Fishes of Canada
