Die Süsswasserfische Mitteleuropas

Whether it's eel, brook trout, goby, pike, or catfish – this book presents 68 freshwater fish found in Central Europe. Axel Gutjahr distinguishes between flowing waters, such as streams or rivers, and standing waters, like lakes, ponds, or pools. In addition to important identifying features, their body structure adapted to their habitat, and their distribution areas, the author describes their preferred biotopes and provides information on diet and spawning times, as well as the fascinating hunting and breeding strategies of the most common vertebrates found in Central European freshwater. This highly informative nature guide piques curiosity and encourages readers to get to know our native fish better.
