The crucian is a freshwater fish species seeing a renaissance of interest in angling and conservation communities in Britain. Despite its wide northern European and western Asian distribution, the species is under threat from multiple causes including the decimation of the small pond habitats upon which they depend. It is as a small pond specialist that the conservation value of the crucian is particularly relevant, the species providing a charismatic focus supporting the protection and restoration of these highly threatened and much-reduced habitat types.

The book takes a comprehensive approach, covering:

(1) biology and ecology, including taxonomy

(2) angling, including baits, methods and former and current record fish

(3) cultural connections, including etymology, artworks and culinary aspects of the fish.

These sections are supported by a bibliography and beautiful colour imagery, Crucians offering a fascinating read for conservationists, anglers and freshwater biologists alike.
