I did not know, however, of a single reference that concisely summarized
etymology, geographic distribution, conservation status (in every state) for
ALL North American taxa - until now -
"Annotated Checklist of North American Freshwater Fishes, Including
Subspecies and Undescribed Forms" provides that summary in an attractive
format.
Its complete, up-to-date, informative, well-written, beautifully organized,
and easy-to-use. This is a resource that anyone who has any interest in
native fishes will appreciate and consult when reading or writing about North
American species.
Check it out when you get the chance.
