"Fish books have long held considerable appeal, both for scientists and popular readers. Marine Fishes and Fisheries of New York delves into fishery management with more in-depth coverage than most similar works."
– Edward Houde, University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science
"With more than three-quarters of a century of combined hands-on New York fish and fisheries knowledge, there's nobody better than Reisman and Hasbrouck to compile such a useful compendium. The addition of Christopher Paparo's spectacular photography lets readers see fishes in their own element while learning about their surprising biodiversity."
