Subject: NANFA-- Florida Collecting Guide
> Announcing the new issue of the Florida Collecting Guide:
>
> The members of the Central Florida Region of NANFA and the Suncoast
> Killifish Society, an affiliate club of the American Killifish
Association,
> are pleased to announce the availability of the new issue of the Florida
> Collecting Guide.
>
>
>
> This project was originally conceived as a casual guide to collecting
native
> Florida fishes for the use of local members, providing, in a single
volume,
> the kind of information that is not normally available to the collector.
The
> inaugural issue, first made available at the 2000 A.K.A. convention in
Tampa
> included 64 fish photos, short articles of interest to the collector,
> Florida State regulations, and lists of collecting sites with general
> descriptions of locations and the typical fish found at each. The authors,
> photographers and the publisher donated all the profits to NANFA and the
> SKS.
>
>
>
> The publication was very well received and we were encouraged to expand it
> into a more formal and useful volume. As a result, the work has been
> redesigned into sections that can easily accept addendums and updates as
our
> research continues. The number of fish photos has roughly doubled, we have
> added a new section of aquarium friendly plants that can be collected, and
> we have started a section on invertebrates. Future updates will
concentrate
> on filling in the species not yet represented and upgrading existing
> photographs, and finishing the sections on plants and invertebrates. Also
> added are sections on collections techniques, and tabular data on breeding
> and maintaining virtually every fish that can be adapted to the aquarium.
>
>
>
> The Florida State regulations and listings of protected species and
species
> of special concern have be revalidated, and collecting site location
> information has been updated with GPS references to allow the collector to
> precisely find them. An expanded table of contents, a complete index, and
> miscellaneous articles of interest finish out the volume. The Table of
> Contents is provided at the end of this announcement.
>
>
>
> The contributor list has been expanded to include Dr. Brett Kemker (FSU)
and
> Craig Watson, the director of the Florida Aquaculture Laboratory, a
> cooperative research facility operated by the University of Florida, and
the
> Florida Fish Farmers Association. These gentlemen join the original staff
of
> Henri DeBruyn (Belgium), Brian Skidmore, Charlie Nunziata and publisher,
> Mike Jacobs.
>
>
>
> The original was printed on one side of each page, and this volume is
> printed both sides on a better grade paper that resists bleed-through.
> Therefore, the new issue is about the same number of pages as the original
> although there is approximately twice the amount of information.
>
>
>
> Statistics:
>
> 30 pages.
>
> 8 1/2" x 11" punched for standard three hole binder
>
> Color Photos: Fish (92 ), Plants (29 ), Invertebrates (9 ), Misc. (13),
Maps
> (1).

>
> Because of the change in the organization of the book, the pages from the
> original issue cannot be used. Therefore, we have instituted a two tier
> price system.

>
> For holders of the original volume, the update is $20 plus postage. You
