Description: So fruitful a Fish presents the first truly holistic portrait of an Amazonian fish as it exists in its natural habitat and in farming environments. More than just a biology text, the book demonstrates how the tambaqui symbolizes the tight ecological link between rivers and rainforests and the need to conserve floodplain habitats that are now being destroyed by cattle and water buffalo ranching.

Its story will be of enermous benefit to ecologists, developers, fishery biologists, aquaculturists, conservationists, and others interested in the dramatic evolutionary complexities of tropical life.
