Description: An account of the subterranean (hypogean) fishes with a bibliography
fish (2957) cave (679) groundwater (170) caving (153) fishes (42) subterranean (19) cave fish (1) cave fishes (1) hypogean (1) proudlove (1)
The bibliography contains 5616 entries covering all aspects of the biology of subterranean fishes and allied subjects of relevance.
This web site is effectively the second edition of my book on the subterranean fishes of the world ( Proudlove 2006 ). It follows very much the same structure and content and its main aim is to provide an always-up-to-date checklist of the cave and groundwater fishes of the world and detailed species accounts for all species. A fully searchable bibliography of 5600+ entries (1436 - date) is also provided.
There are also two secondary aims: One is to provide checklists and species accounts for the interstitial fishes and for troglomorphic fishes from non-subterranean habitats . The second is to provide a checklist and species accounts for the other obligate-subterranean vertebrates, which are all Amphibia. This second aim is work in progress and species accounts will appear in due course.
