The waters of Tennessee are home to about three hundred species of fishes, the most diverse collection of freshwater fauna of any state in the country. This readable & authoritative book, first published in 1993, examines that diversity within the state's complex natural history.

Species accounts provide information on the classification, identification, biology, distribution, taxonomy, & current status of Tennessee's fishes--many of which are endangered.
