My book favourites

Below you can find a selection of my favourite books and magazines. All of them are accessible. If you have a problem obtaining a book please let me know. I will certainly help you.

Some books are just not accessible for ordinary people! You might have experienced the same; a certain book is introduced in the literature review section of a magazine. You think this is the book you always wanted to have but for some reasons the book is not obtainable; your bookstore doesn’t know the issueing edition or the system doesn’t recognize the ISBN. In addition the author and edition don’t answer your emails. This happened several times to me! It seems to be a common practice of magazines to introduce books which are simply inaccessible for ordinary people who don’t have access to a well organized institutional library. This ink and paper wasting practice is just annoying!

Kottelat, M., A.J. Whitten, S.N. Kartikasari & S. Wirjoatmodjo 1993: Freshwater fishes of Western Indonesia and Sulawesi. - Periplus Editions, Hong Kong. 221 pp

Ichthyological Explorations of Freshwaters (including single editions)

Zootaxa, Acta Zoologica Sinica and all other periodicals related to Chinese fishes (all editions)

In fact all literature about Chinese freshwater fishes is welcome, even if not displayed here. Do not hesitate to offer your books! 

This is probably the most amazing ichthyological book I have ever hold in my hands. All valid recent European freshwater species are compiled in this work. There are fishes in the book I have never heard of before; genera such as Iberocypris and Romanogobio are just an example. The book provide the common name, a species diagnosis, distributional range using maps, habitat and biology information as well as the status of conservation and further reading for each species.

Families, subfamilies, genera, its extrordinaries are introduced in brief abstracts. Keys to the species are provided.

Since this book is for sale European fish nuts don’t need to travel abroad! There are so many interesting European species to be investigated!

In my humble opinion the Aquaristik-Fachmagazin is the best magazine for vivarists in Germany, may be worldwide. Nowhere else you can find so many high class articles about fishes, amphibians and reptiles contributed by various respectable experts.

Kottelat, M. 2001a: Fishes of Laos

Kottelat’s Fishes of Laos is a great determination book for loatian fish species. All species known and expected to occur in loatian waters are displayed in colouration (with very few exemptions). Comprehensive and understandable keys to the species are provided. Even non-ichthyologists can work with them.

In addition there are useful information how to preserve specimens in a proper way which allows later scientific usage. 

Huang, H. J. et al. 1988: The freshwater fishes of China in coloured illustrations. Volume II

Huang, H. J. et al. 1982: The freshwater fishes of China in coloured illustrations. Volume I

It’s a pity I don’t own the third volume. It’s out of print and sold out. These books are among the few which feature coloured photographs of Chinese fishes. Actually some pictures’ quality is extremely poor but there are no other photos available. Hence, even FishBase use these photos in its online database.    

While volume I is in Chinese only volume II features some brief species information about distributional range and ecology in English at the end of the book.

Fauna Sinica series

The Fauna Sinica series is considered to be the foundation of everybody who is working on Chinese native fishes. All fishes known to occur on Chinese territory are compiled. However, the taxonomy follows strictly Chinese standards and is partially simply obsolete and incorrect.

Common to early Chinese ichthyological literature fishes are displayed in excellent drawings, not as a photograph. These books are an identification guide through the aquatic fauna of China. Sometimes difficult to understand keys to the species are provided. An English translation of these keys are given at the end each book.
