Description

These fish survived the dinosaurs. They already existed when the giant lizards made the earth tremble more than 60 million years ago. They breathe with lungs and their young fish have external gills that are otherwise only found in newts and salamanders. They are fascinating witnesses of a bygone era and yet they are viable, vital and adapted to the modern environment. White-tailed pikes have always aroused the interest of naturalists. For the first time in literary history, all known species are presented in pictures in this book.

In the course of more than 5 years of research for this AQUALOG volume, all type specimens of the described species still in the museums of the world were re-examined. It was possible to show that undescribed species of this fish group also exist. In order to be able to take the first-ever published live photo of one of the species, an elaborate fishing expedition was equipped.

Let yourself be captivated by the more than 180 fantastic large-format colour photographs. In addition, detailed information is provided on the care and breeding of the pinnipeds and pinniped eels in the aquarium.
