Salmon, Trout and Charr of the World

Written in a clear and concise style by a non-scientist for other non-scientists, this is a fascinating study of the origins, evolution, migratory instincts, diet, territories, breeding patterns and management of these fish. The wider issues of the commercial fishing industry, over-fishing, and conservation measures are also covered. Individual chapters focus on the Atlantic and Pacific salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout, Arctic charr, brook charr, and others.
