Description

Field Guide to Fishes of the Chesapeake Bay, Paperback by Murdy, Edward O.; M.... Field Guide to Fishes of the Chesapeake Bay, Paperback by Murdy, Edward O.; Musick, John A.; Kells, Val (ILT), ISBN 142140768X, ISBN-13 9781421407685, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Director of the National Science Foundation office in Tokyo, Murdy and Musick (emeritus, marine science, College of William and Mary, Virginia) catalogue fish and fish-like creatures in the largest of US estuaries, with a watershed that encompasses six states on the east coast between New York and Virginia. Entries averaging about a half page in length discuss key features, habitat and habits, occurrence in the Chesapeake Bay, reproduction, food habits, and importance. The information is oriented towards fishing, and the excellent drawings by marine science illustrator Val Kells are not fanciful in-habitat creations, but aids for identifying the species of the fish in the bottom of the boat.
