On More Than Fish Eponyms. Book Review: Beolens et al. Eponym Dictionary of Fishes; Whittle Publishing: Caithness, UK, 2023; ISBN: 978-1-84995-498-3 Pauly, D. (Daniel)

Abstract

This review deals with the magnificent and monumental ‘Eponym Dictionary of Fishes’, which provides nearly 6500 short biographical sketches for the persons whose name is part of the scientific name (genus and/or species epithet) of a fish formally described before this book was completed, i.e., an eponym. This book, also available as a PDF, is part of an excellent, broad series that covers other groups of vertebrates.
