With updated, detailed maps and exquisitely illustrated plates, it enables precise identification even of the most similar species. Compact and field-ready, this guide is essential for anglers, biologists, and nature enthusiasts aiming to master freshwater fish identification in the 21st century. ## Description There are nearly 1,000 species of freshwater fishes in North America alone, and identifying them can sometimes be a daunting task. In fact, in just the twenty years since publication of the first edition of the Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes , the number of species has risen by almost 150, including 19 marine invaders and 16 newly established nonnative species. This second edition incorporates all of these new species, plus all-new maps and a collection of new and revised plates. Some of the species can be told apart only by minute differences in coloration or shape, and these beautifully illustrated plates reveal exactly how to distinguish each species. The guide includes detailed maps and information showing where to locate each species of fish—whether that species can be found in miles-long stretches of river or small pools that cover only dozens of square feet. The ichthyologic world of the twenty-first century is not the same as it was in the twentieth, and this brand-new edition of the definitive field guide to freshwater fishes reflects these many changes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Asin | 0547242069 | | Dimensions | 4.5 x 1.42 x 7 inches | | Edition | 2nd | | Isbn 10 | 9780547242064 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0547242064 | | Item Weight | 1.7 pounds | | Language | English | | Part Of Series | Peterson Field Guides | | Print Length | 688 pages | | Publication Date | April 21, 2011 | | Publisher | Mariner Books | ## Images ![Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes, Second Edition (Peterson Field Guides) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71UKdJj84iL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best! *by on Reviewed in the United States December 9, 2025* Bought used through Amazon. Book arrived in excellent condition and in a timely manner. The Peterson Guide is the gold standard of Field Guides. I'll be using this for my new hobby of micro fishing in rivers, streams, and creeks on the east coast. The plates and descriptions of the fish in the book are superb and easy to understand. Beautiful pictures. The book is compact but weighty. Will fit in a small day pack nicely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great go-to book to identify fish *by on Reviewed in the United States February 18, 2026* Love this book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Improved and updated, useful for anyone interested in fish. *by on Reviewed in the United States June 3, 2011* This guide is a great go-to book to identify nearly any freshwater fish you would come across in North America. That is the main purpose of this guide and it does it very well. It is not overly geared for icthyologists although alot of the descriptive terminology is not in everyones vocabulary, there is a glossary to define these terms used, so you can always find out exactly what a "caudal fulcrum" or any other term you are unfamiliar with means. It is set up for people interested in fish that want to know what they are. The plates are organized with similar looking species together and short descriptions and arrows are used to show you what to look for to seperate the different species. If you have narrowed it down to a couple of possibilities but still not quite sure, you can go to the page with more complete decriptions for each species and it tells you morphological characteristics, range maps, habitats, and similar species so you can be more sure of your identification. It also has more detailed pictures of certain parts to look for if two or more fish are very similar in appearance. I can not think of a better way for such a complete guide to be organized. The plates do what they are intended to do, and that is to give you a visual guide to identification in one place, so you dont have to flip through 600 pages of descriptions for each species with a picture next to each one. This book is useful to everyone from the professionals to a kid who netted his first darter out of a stream and wonders what it is. ## Frequently Bought Together - Peterson Field Guide to Freshwater Fishes, Second Edition (Peterson Field Guides) - Peterson Field Guide To Birds Of Eastern & Central North America, Seventh Ed.
