Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewA must have for those with an interest in the marine fishes of the West Coast. Birdbooker Report This book will soon become your go-to identification guide, and is compact and durable enough with water resistant pages to throw in your dive bag, fishing tackle box, or field sampling gear. Together with Kells's previous book on fishes from Maine to Texas, you will be prepared to identify almost any coastal species you come across in the continental United States. Copeia This new guide to Pacific coast fishes from Johns Hopkins University Press would be a great addition to any Oregon Master Naturalist's library. Oregon Master Naturalist Program A Field Guide to Coastal Fishes by Kells, Rocha, and Allen is a wonderful field guide that would be a welcome addition to any dive bag or tackle box... I cannot recommend this book enough to anglers, divers, hobby naturalists, and students alike. It is a musthave for anyone who wants to quickly and accurately identify a Pacific Coast fish on the go.
