Klappentext
A global assessment of the current state of freshwater fish biodiversity and the opportunities and challenges to conservation.

Zusammenfassung
Freshwater fish are one of the most diverse vertebrate groups, but are also amongst the most threatened. This is the first assessment of the global state of freshwater fish diversity, providing a comprehensive synthesis of the opportunities, challenges and barriers facing the conservation of freshwater fish biodiversity.
