Even as the Clinton presidency draws to a close, Arkansas remains the undiscovered state. Fishes of Arkansas is a visual treat--a species by species documentation of the incredible diversity of freshwater fish found in that state's streams and waterways.

Fishes of Arkansas demonstrates instead the incredible biodiversity found in the numerous fish species located in Arkansas.
