This volume explores all the fish species found in European rivers, lakes, reservoirs and canals, covering their appearance, range and habitats, courtship, breeding and life-cycles, food and feeding behaviour. The fish are arranged in scientific order and ranked according to fishing importance.
European lakes, rivers, reservoirs and canals are home to a huge number of fish species. In this book, Malcolm Greenhalgh explores over 160 species, from primitive lamprey to the Atlantic salmon and from the massive sturgeon to the tiny guppy. Understanding fish is the key to finding them, and the author therefore explains the appearance, range, habitat, courtship, breeding, life-cycle and feeding behaviour of each species. The book is organized by fish family and closely related species are grouped together, so that minor differences in appearance or behaviour can be easily recognized. The author also explores the conservation issues that threaten fish throughout Europe, including the effects of introducing fish to areas where they would not occur naturally, as well as pollution and over-fishing.

Malcolm Greenhalgh has studied fish and fishing throughout Europe, North America and the West Indies and regularly demonstrates at major angling shows in Britain and Europe. He contributes to Fly-Fishing and Fly-Tying and Salmon, Trout and Sea Trout magazines, is general editor of The Complete Book of Fly-fishing and author of Trout-Fishing in Rivers; Lake, Loch and Reservoir Trout Fishing; The Complete Salmon Fisher; The Fly-Fisher's Handbook (with Denys Ovenden) and The Salmon and Sea Trout Fisher's Handbook (with Hugh Falkus).
