Hand Book of the Freshwater Fishes of India

Hand Book of the Fresh Water Fishes of India affords a valuable guide towards elucidation of many interesting problems connected with Ichthyology. The learned author has skillfully dealt with the subject in an authentic manner. A detailed study of fresh-water fishes has been made. In the study of Ichthyology it if found that the great difficulty is known where to look for any particular information one requires, the author therefore attempted to bring together in compact form such items as has been found practically to be most frequently wanted. A matter of great interest connected with the fresh-water fishes of the Indian Peninsula is the geographical distribution of species and groups. India affords a splendid example of a well defined region. No fresh-water species, as such, can at the present time have communication with other countries. Hence very few few truly fresh-water species that are found in India occur in other countries. This hand book is a valuable aid to fisheries organisations, the lecturer, the Zoologist as well as the layman. They will find it interesting and useful resource of reference.
