Indexes

"...a source of detailed information on freshwater fish migrations,
particularly given its taxonomic and geographical breadth, this
volume will prove to be exceedingly valuable." (American Society
of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists)

"This is an excellent, well researched and presented text that
provides solid information on a subject of increasing importance to
our knowledge of fish populations in freshwater systems."
(Fish)

"Many know about salmon, but few know as much about freshwater
fish movements as is contained in this volume. Therein lies its
value." (Fish and Fisheries)

"This text is almost certainly the most comprehensive and
up-to-date one there is on the subject of freshwater fish migration
and it is bound to become the standard reference work for many
years." (Fisheries Research)
