درباره این کتاب:
With more
than 15,000 species, nearly a quarter of
the total number of vertebrate species
on Earth, freshwater fishes are
extremely varied. They include the
largest fish species, the beluga at over
7 meters long, and the smallest, the
Paedocypris at just 8 millimeters, as
well as the carnivorous, such as the
piranha, and the calm, such as the
Chinese algae eater. Certain species
evolve rapidly, cichlids for example,
while others transform very slowly, like
lungfish. The fossils of these animals
are very diverse in nature, sometimes
just small scattered bones where sites
correspond to ancient river beds or
magnificent fossils of entire fish where
there was once a lake.
This book covers the history of these
fishes over the last 250 million years
by exploring the links between their
biological evolution and the
paleogeographic and environmental
transformations of our planet, whether
these be gradual or sudden.
