DESERT FISHES COUNCIL
Index to fish images, maps and information

This is a taxonomically structured index to DFC WWW and TNHC Fish WWW holdings for North America. A regional and habitat-based index is in development. This list is derived from the list of North American Freshwater Fishes of Mayden, R.L. et al. 1992 and from Williams, J.E. et al. (1989). Scientific and common names follow Mayden et al., except for some (mostly subspecies) found only in Williams et al. This index includes native North American desert fishes (and all additional species from the Great Basin, Colorado River System, Rio Grande System, and northern Mexico, ie all the fishes from drainages that pass through deserts), as well as few exotic species and native species outside of desert drainages for which we have files. For more information on non-natives, see the NBS Nonindigenous Fish Database.

Links to information on DFC WWW and TNHC WWW are indicated by "A" (abstract of general information), "P" (photo(s)), "M" (distribution map), "Otx" (other textual information). Links in all lowercase letters (e.g. "xtx") are to files on other Web sites.

DFC members working on species for which we lack information are encouraged to contribute text and image files in any format (our volunteer crew can scan and re-format), and to advise us of any errors or omissions. Check the list of contributors to see who you can thank for the information provided here.
