A collective work by 48 authors, all recognised specialists, with the participation of the Institut Méditerranéen d'Océanologie - MIO, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, the Office français pour la Biodiversité and the Société Française d'Ichtyologie.
For several decades, French scientists have been working on inventories and studies of the diversity of freshwater fish in France. This work has led to considerable progress in our knowledge, thanks in particular to molecular studies. This new edition of Les poissons d'eau douce de France has been completely updated in terms of both taxonomy and species distribution. A true reference on the freshwater fishes of France, this work is the fruit of the collective efforts of 48 authors, all recognised specialists. It will rapidly become a reference for all European biologists. This book will be of interest to anyone who comes into contact with freshwater fish as part of their leisure or professional activities: beginners and experienced naturalists, amateur fishermen and aquarists, fish farmers and managers of natural environments, scientists or environmental mediators.
