The members of the Central Florida Region of NANFA and the Suncoast
Killifish Society, an affiliate club of the American Killifish Association,
are pleased to announce the availability of the new issue of the Florida
Collecting Guide.
This project was originally conceived as a casual guide to collecting
native Florida fishes for the use of local members, providing, in a single
volume, the kind of information that is not normally available to the
collector. The inaugural issue, first made available at the 2000 A.K.A.
convention in Tampa, included 64 fish photos, short articles of interest
to the collector, Florida State regulations, and lists of collecting sites
with general descriptions of locations and the typical fish found at each.
The authors, photographers and the publisher donated all the profits to
NANFA and the SKS. (continued below)
The contributor list has been expanded to include Dr.
Brett Kemker (FSU) and Craig Watson, the director of the Florida Aquaculture
Laboratory, a cooperative research facility operated by the University
of Florida, and the Florida Fish Farmers Association. These gentlemen
join the original staff of Henri DeBruyn (Belgium), Brian Skidmore,
Charlie Nunziata and publisher Mike Jacobs.
The original was printed on one side of each page, and this volume is
printed both sides on a better grade paper that resists bleed-through.
Therefore, the new issue is about the same number of pages as the original
although there is approximately twice the amount of information.
Statistics: 30 pages. 8 1/2" x 11" punched for standard three
hole binder.
Color Photos: Fish (92 ), Plants (29 ), Invertebrates (9 ), Misc. (13),
Maps (1).
