Notes: "Chapman Pincher, as a professional zoologist and keen angler ...collected and collated all the main new facts about fish life from thousands of scientific papers published in many countries. He linked these with his own observations and opinions ...written in non-technical language." This is the American edition of Pincher's 1947 book, published the following year in New York.
