Fishing is considered to be the largest extractive use of wildlife in the world.
About 90% of all freshwater fisheries occur in developing countries.
Well-illustrated with approximately 250 images of species, this book deals with
nutritional facts of different groups of edible freshwater life: algae and
plants, crustaceans (prawns, crayfish and crabs), molluscs (bivalves and
gastropods), and fish and frogs along with their characteristics such as
classification, common names, habitats, global distribution and biological
features.
