Trout Biology. A Natural History of Trout and Salmon

London: Lyons & Burford, 1991. Some light spotting to sheet edges, previous owner's near address label on title and endleaves, cloth fresh and bright, binding strong, light shelfwear to jacket. 4to. 273 pages. Profusely illustrated. Original cloth; dust jacket. Revised and augmented edition. Dust jacket notes: "Trout Biology may be the most important book for a trout fisherman's library: for no other book offers such a comprehensive biological portrait of the fisherman's quarry. This is the definitive natural history of trout and salmon, thoughtfully updated and revised and completely reset. Trout Biology presents the life history, characteristics, behavior patterns, and place in the ecosystem of the salmonids. The chapters on behavior are of course of special interest to anglers, with their authoritative treatment of social and territorial behavior, feeding habits, food-color choice, reactions to cover and light, learning and memory, sounds and sound perception, and methods of movement. As Tom Rosenbauer, author of Reading Trout Streams, says: 'Trout Biology is the best book available for anglers who wish to learn all about a trout's life cycle.'" Surprisingly scarce.
