Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Many people around the world are happy to make a meal of a freshly caught bass. Would they be so quick to dig in if they knew what was happening below the surface of the water, though? Bass are known to eat their own babies! This is perhaps made even more disgusting when one considers the level of care the bass fathers provide their fry up until that fateful day when they suddenly become dinner. In addition to this dietary quirk, readers will also find out about the different kinds of bass and where they live, as well as their life cycle and interesting behavioral and anatomical adaptations and traits.
Includes bibliographical references (page 24) and index.
