Deacon is a study devoted to the study of the effects of dry periods on fish populations in these rivers.

The book contains important scientific findings on the response of fish populations to negative environmental factors, as well as the possible consequences of these changes for the fisheries and ecosystems of the Neosho and Mare des Sin rivers. The work of Deacon James E. is a valuable contribution to the scientific study of the influence of climatic factors on fish resources and the ecology of freshwater bodies.
