Grzimek Animal Life Encyclopedia Volume 5 Fishes 2nd Ed
Grzimek’s Animal Life Encyclopedia is an internationally
prominent scientific reference compilation, first published in
German in the late 1960s, under the editorship of zoologist
Bernhard Grzimek (1909–1987). In a cooperative effort between
Gale and the American Zoo and Aquarium Association,
the series has been completely revised and updated for the
first time in over 30 years. Gale expanded the series from 13
to 17 volumes, commissioned new color paintings, and updated
the information so as to make the set easier to use. The
order of revisions is:
Volumes 8–11: Birds I–IV
Volume 6: Amphibians
Volume 7: Reptiles
Volumes 4–5: Fishes I–II
Volumes 12–16: Mammals I–V
Volume 3: Insects
Volume 2: Protostomes
Volume 1: Lower Metazoans and Lesser Deuterostomes
Volume 17: Cumulative Index
