Jorge Hirt-Chabbert provides a user-friendly guide that makes the process of identifying your catch simple. Visual clues are the paramount guide to naming your fish, with technical information about the species kept to a minimum.

Fish Species of New Zealand is a book for all fishers, whether beginner or expert.
