This book provides a synthesis of taxonomic and ecological information on New Zealand’s freshwater fish fauna. New Zealand has been isolated in the southwestern Pacific Ocean since it separated from Gondwana during the Cretaceous period, some 80 million years ago. This prolonged geological isolation, combined with the islands’ very vigorous geological history, impacted by oceanic submergence, tectonic activity, mountain building extreme volcanism, and great climatic variability, create a dynamic scenario within which the New Zealand biota, including its freshwater fishes, have evolved over millions of years. These impacts have contributed to a highly dynamic biological history with undoubted though little understood extinction and vigorous colonisation of the islands’ fresh water. One of... Less

Please read entire listing before purchase. This is a live food starter culture of freshwater scuds, Gammarus sp. Scuds resemble a shrimp, can grow to 1/4 inch in size, and feeds on organic detritus. Scuds are a good natural food source for fish up to 4 inches long including but not limited to tetras, gouramis, catfish, and small cichlids. They are an ideal food when quarantining new fish, especially wild caught and carnivorous fish, in a bare bottom tank. For best results, culture them in a ja

Though Mexico is only one-fifth the size of the continental United States, it is home to nearly two-thirds as many freshwater fishes as those that swim the waters of the United States and Canada combined. Mexico's diverse freshwater fauna can be attributed to the country's highly varied physical geography, a wide latitudinal range, the largest river system in middle America, and, ironically, its oceans—many marine groups left the brine for the inland springs and never returned to the sea.No one knew these Mexican freshwaters or the fish that inhabit them better than the late world-renowned ichthyologist Robert Rush Miller. A pioneer of the field, Miller undertook his first field excursion more than fifty years ago and, in the decades following, amassed the information necessary to write... Less

Most people think of the rays as marine fishes, but there are numerous species which spend their entire lives in fresh water. Then again other species, for example the mighty swordfish, live in fresh water for at least part of the time and are regularly encountered in the lower courses of rivers. This AQUALOG volume represents the first comprehensive publication in the popular literature to cover all the rays living in fresh and brackish water, with full coverage of: - the sawfishes (Pristidae) - the guitarfishes (Rhinobatidae) - the South American freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygonidae ) as well as all the representatives of the electric rays (Torpediniformes) , eagle rays, mantas, etc (Myliobatidae), and whiptail stingrays (Dasyatidae) that are known to enter fresh or brackish water...

This is a live food starter culture of freshwater scuds, Gammarus sp. Scuds resemble a shrimp, can grow to 1/4 inch in size, and feeds on organic detritus. Scuds are a good natural food source for fish up to 4 inches long including but not limited to tetras, gouramis, catfish, and small cichlids. They are an ideal food when quarantining new fish, especially wild caught and carnivorous fish, in a bare bottom tank. For best results, culture them in a jar then feed off when needed. One of the easiest cultures to keep with minimal maintenance. Culture is also good for ponds as a consistent live food source for fish. Picture shows adults but culture will contain 125+ scuds of mixed sizes/ages.

Our popping rods were originally designed for casting LIVE BAIT (mainly shrimp), under a popping cork out on the flats, but freshwater anglers have found umpteen other uses for them as well. These rods have a relatively soft tip, which allows your bait to land softly and QUIETLY, even on long casts, another plus when the water's skinny and the fish spook easily. At the same time, they're powerful rods, capable of handling surprisingly large fish. They come in a variety of lengths for different applications. The top four guides and tip-top feature oversized rings to handle large knots for shock tippets. GREAT rods for great fish. Designed for redfish and permit, the 844S is a good all-around flats rod for larger fish. It works well with live bait like shrimp, minnows and small crabs, but... Less

With more than 29,000 species, fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on the planet. Of that number, more than 12,000 species are found in freshwater ecosystems, which occupy less than 1 percent of the Earth’s surface and contain only 2.4 percent of plant and animal species. But, on a hectare-for-hectar e basis, freshwater ecosystems are richer in species than more extensive terrestrial and marine habitats. Examination of the distribution patterns of fishes in these fresh waters reveals much about continental movements and climate changes and has long been critical to biogeographical studies and research in ecology and evolution.Tim Berra’s seminal resource, Freshwater Fish Distribution, maps the 169 fish families that swim in fresh water around the world.

In the rivers and lakes of tropical South America lives a group of fishes that are more often associated with the sea - stingrays. Although in their natural habitat they are feared much more than the piranhas, on account of their dangerous poisonous spines, all over the world increasing numbers of enthusiastic aquarists are succumbing to the fascination of these unique creatures. Dr Richard Ross, a scientist at the Santa Barbara Zoo in America, has for a long time been keeping these fishes in the display aquaria at the zoo, and here publishes the vast store of knowledge derived from this experience. The requirements of these rays, as regards successful maintenance and breeding, are revealed in detail for the first time in the literature. The reader will learn all about the requisite tank... Less
