Key features of this field guide include: full-color illustrations of more than 200 species; text that is presented adjacent to illustrations for easy reference; detailed descriptions of physical characteristics, range, occurrence in the Bay, reproduction, diet, and statistics from fisheries research; spot illustrations that highlight critical features of certain fish; illustrations of juveniles when they look different from adults; and appendices that include identification keys.
