𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿'𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 'Fishes of the Genus 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠' presents a comprehensive account of Africa’s remarkable seasonal fishes, which complete their entire life cycle in ephemeral wetlands that appear and vanish with the rains. ​ Drawing on decades of field exploration, scientific research, and aquarium observations, Béla Nagy and Brian R. Watters explore the ecology, life history, reproduction, diversity, classification, and conservation of these extraordinary fishes. From the seasonal wetlands they inhabit to the remarkable adaptations that allow them to survive months of drought as dormant embryos, the book reveals a unique group of fishes living at the edge of time. ​ The book brings together extensive field observations from across Africa with detailed habitat descriptions, distribution and dispersal patterns, life-history studies, maintenance and breeding techniques, and modern approaches to classification and systematics. The final chapter provides comprehensive species accounts covering identification, taxonomy, habitat, distribution, conservation status, reproduction, and maintenance. Richly illustrated throughout, the book includes hundreds of full-colour photographs, biotope images, maps, phylogenetic diagrams, historical illustrations, and detailed drawings. It is both a scientific reference and a visual exploration of the extraordinary diversity of 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠. Written for researchers, conservationists, ichthyologists, killifish enthusiasts, and dedicated aquarists, this book offers an authoritative and accessible synthesis of one of Africa’s most fascinating groups of freshwater fishes. 600 pages ​| over 650 full-colour photos | 102 species accounts | 30 maps covering all species | 14 phylogenies | 7 x 10 in - 17.8 x 25.4 cm 𝗢𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀: A limited number of softcover and hardcover books printed on premium 115gsm coated paper will be available directly from the authors (while supplies last) for 60 and 80 euros, respectively, plus shipping.
