Interest in the freshwater fishes of Suriname by naturalists and scientists extends back over more than two centuries. Suriname is undoubtedly the site of origin of the oldest extant preserved specimens of South American fishes and 19 Surinamese fish species were described and figured by Linnaeus. Building on ichthyological studies initiated in the 1960s by the Brokopondo Project, this book provides an introduction to the freshwater fish fauna of Suriname, including identification keys, photographs of the species and descriptions of their habitats, that should be especially useful to decision makers, conservation biologists, aquarium hobbyists and eco-tourists.Fauna of Suriname2.Freshwater fishesSurinameFreshwater fishes597.176Mol Jan H.1958-1786401NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910964927503321The freshwater fishes of Suriname4318009UNINA
