Published in collaboration with the Michigan Sea Grant program, this book offers a complete and detailed guide to the fishes most commonly found in the Great Lakes. Readers will find quick facts for each species, tips for identification, descriptions of their typical habitats, a discussion of what they eat, and an update on their conservation status. Beautiful color illustrations by Emily S. Damstra accompany color photographs and line drawings to highlight distinguishing characteristics of each species. The guide also provides information about the Great Lakes ecosystems, including diagrams of different habitats and an explanation of the food chains within the Lakes. This handy-sized guide covers nearly everything of interest to anglers, fishery and wildlife professionals, and conservationists - with more than 200 illustrations, it's as fun to look at as it is to use for identifying a catch.

Industry Reviews

"It becomes clear that this book is a labour of love as well as the product of considerable physical and intellectual resources . . . [The] paintings are simply beautiful . . . The work succeeds far beyond its stated role as a guidebook and enhances and emphasizes the creators' 'devotion to biodiversity and clean water' set out in the preface. The work is also a wonderful introduction for non-scientists both to the water and to some of the main inhabitants of our Great Lakes."
