A checklist of the fishes of the Monterey Bay area including Elkhorn Slough, the San Lorenzo, Pajaro and Salinas Rivers

An ichthyologist should be familiar with the literature on the regional distribution of fishes before he attempts identification of local collections. Occasionally specimens are captured that appear to be outside their geographic ranges; frequently research into the regional literature reveals that such individuals have been previously noted from the area and are thus within their reported ranges.The present checklist hopefully will assist other researchers in the identification of the fishes of Monterey Bay. The reference list also provides a brief historical review of the ichthyological research on fishes in the area. (Document has 84 pages)
