| Summary: | "In the 10 years since the second edition of Key to the Estuarine and Marine Fishes of Texas was published, many studies have improved our knowledge of Texas marine fishes. Notable among these works are Bright and Cashman (1974), Hoese and Moore (1976) and the FAO Species Identification Sheets for the Western Central Atlantic (1978). These publications and other sources have provided the impetus and new information for Saltwater Fishes of Texas. The new key retains the format and style of the earlier key, but roughly 50 percent of the keys have been rated at the ordinal, familial and species levels. Saltwater Fishes of Texas includes 130 species not found in the earlier volume and contains more than 500 drawings of fishes and diagnostic structures referred to in the keys"--Texas A & M University sea grant publication website (http://texasseagrant.org/publications/category/1983-publications/P15) |
