The book combines in-depth scientific information with outstanding photographs and original artwork to fully describe the fish species critical to the Pacific Rim.

This completely revised and updated edition covers all aspects of the life cycle of these remarkable fish in the Pacific: homing migration from the open ocean through coastal waters and up rivers to their breeding grounds; courtship and reproduction; the lives of juvenile salmon and trout in rivers and lakes; migration to the sea; the structure of fish populations; and the importance of fish carcasses to the ecosystem. The book also includes information on salmon and trout transplanted outside their ranges.

In this edition:
• Over 100 beautiful color photographs of salmon and trout
• Updated information on all aspects of the salmon and trout life cycle
• Expanded coverage of trout
