Product Description
Fishes of the Great Lakes Region is the ultimate guide to Great Lakes fishes---updated, enhanced, and with new color illustrations.
For everyday anglers, armchair enthusiasts, and serious students, Hubbs and Lagler's text remains the definitive work in the identification and study of the fishes of this important freshwater region.
Organized by fish family, with sections on waters of the Great Lakes region, zoogeography, field study and collection, preservation of fishes for study, fish identification, anatomy, terminology, and more, Fishes of the Great Lakes Region is comprehensive in its scope and breadth of information-truly the classic book on Great Lakes fishes.
The book also documents a half century of changes in fish population in the region that have resulted from pollution, development, and the introduction of nonnative species. This edition will thus inspire future generations of anglers and students to take a fresh look at one of our most important fauna.

 A 'must' for Great Lakes naturalists December 6, 2007
Smart presentation for the difficult task of fish ID. Key features: range maps, arrows pointing to species diagnostics, appropriate mix of photos & color plates, water repellent pages, nice intro sections to orient amateurs (like me) with fish anatomy and life histories. I highly recommended this book to Great Lakes scuba divers and other naturalists.

This has for years been one of the great regional fish books of the United States. This revised edition with the addition of distribution maps, more illustrations showing important ID features, the photos placed within the pages of text and many more quality color illustrations have made this book much more user friendly. The rewritten text gives much more information than the original book contained. This book will be of great use to fisherman, those with a interest in the wildlife of this region and serious student of fishes. If you live in the Great Lakes area and are interested in fishes this book is a necessity.

This book is a must for anyone interested in fishes that live in the Great Lakes or the inland waters of the Great Lakes Region. It makes identification easy, and includes every possible species you might find, not just the more common fishes.
