Condition: Fine. 176, col photos, b/w line drawings, col distribution maps. . PB. A fine copy. Text French. This is the ?rst book dealing with all native or introduced freshwater fishes or crustaceans of French Polynesia. Lts objective is also to be a tool for Polynesian managers in order to contribute to the conservation of aquatic communities. The biodiversity of Polynesian freshwaters is important: 37 fish species and 18 decapod crustaceans species. Endemic freshwater species represent more than 31% in French Polynesia (40.5% for the fishes and 11% for the crustaceans) and more than 64% of the fish species in the Marquises islands. Various approaches are proposed to contribute to the identification of the species: keys, descriptive cards and vernacular names. The cards inform about biology, ecology and the distribution, particularly in the Paci?c area, using more than 100 original photographs or drawings and as many detailed maps. One chapter deals with the history of local ichthyology and species introductions. [9782856535479].…

This is the first book on freshwater fish and crustacean species found on R?union Island. It is intended for naturalists, researchers, teachers or fishermen. It has been drawn up as a tool for administrators in charge of management and conservation of aquatic communities. The main features of the various aquatic habitats on R?union are presented in the first part of the book, together with the species found in these habitats. Then comes the history of local ichthyology and species introductions, followed by the catalogue of all species found on the island, with 25 fish species and 10 decapod crustacean species. For each one, a data sheet gives a description of the animal, a commentary on its biology and ecology, as well as its distribution with a detailed map. Original photographs or drawings illustrate the species, and easy to use identification keys will help with species differentiation. Paris. Mus?um national d Histoire naturelle. 136 pp., num. color photographs, line drawings and distribution maps, br. gr. 8 [16 x 24 cm].…

This inventory of the freshwater environment of Guadeloupe has allowed the recording of 14 species of decapod crustaceans and 16 species of fish. Each is presented in a summary file (morphology, biology, distribution and threats) accompanied by a distribution map and a photograph. Two identification keys complement the descriptions. This work also deals with the different characteristics of the habitats in this archipelago: geology, topology, climate, hydrography, significance of the aquatic populations, threats to habitats and conservation. The IUCN status of endangered species on Guadeloupe is given in a table and a historical summary allows introduced and acclimatized species to be placed in context. Mus?um national d Histoire naturelle, Paris,128 pp., 63 color figures, 2 tables, 30 maps, 2 identification keys, br. gr. 8 [160 x 240 mm] [in French].…
