PRINT RESOURCES; Books and articles
These are on the counter already for you. Two especially helpful titles are.
Fishes of the Pacific Coast, by Gar Goodson is especially helpful – one copy fell apart and we laminated the pages for you to use as well 🙂
Probably More Than You Want To Know About the Fishes of the Pacific Coast, by Milton Love – this one is also very useful.
There are also some articles about specific topics like the Asian Clam, and Chinese Mitten Crab.
