Book Description
This volume is a detailed, scientific survey of all fishes in the state of Pennsylvania including their distribution throughout the several watersheds of the state. It will contain several short introductory chapters on geology, glacial history, climate, and other ecological factors pertinent to the understanding of the present distribution of fish species in the commonwealth. Also included is a brief treatment of the fish fossils, the evolutionary origins of present species, and their probable routes of dispersal between major drainage systems. Sufficient historical records exist to compare with recent collections to indicate changes in fish populations over the past 150 years, perhaps correlated with severe environmental disturbances by man. The major portion of the volume will consist of illustrated keys to the identification of about 190 species of fishes arranged in phylogenetic order. Spot distribution maps for each species, prepared from nearly 1,500 fish collections in Pennsylvania, are included with black and white photographs and numerous line drawings of important morphological characters.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Fishes of Pennsylvania: With Descriptions of the Species and Notes on Their Common Names, Distribution, Habits, Reproduction, Rate of Growth and Mode of Capture Early in 1891 Mr. Henry C, Ford requested me to prepare a paper upon the fishes of the State of Pennsylvania for the current report of the Fish Commission of which he is president. The scope of the article was, by mutual agreement, to be limited to brief descriptions of the species, with notes upon their common names, distribution, size, habits, reproduction, rate of growth and mode of capture. Inasmuch as the plan of the work involved the illustration of all the important fishes it was not considered essential to introduce keys for the identification of the species. The descriptions are chiefly original, and are based upon specimens contained in the collection of the United States National Museum at Washington, D.C. The popular notes have been obtained largely from original investigations and, in part, by compilation from the writings of Goode, Gill, Cope, and Jordan. In connection with field work in the service of the United States Fish Commission the writer has derived much information of value, which is here for the first time recorded. The colored plates were made by Mr. Sherman F.Denton of Wellesley, Mass., from living or fresh specimens. The major portion of the illustrations in black have been reproduced from original drawings belonging to the United States Fish Commission. In addition to these, a number of new illustrations were made by Mr. J. C. Van Hook and Mr. A. H. Baldwin. Acknowledgments are due to James Thompson of Erie, John W.Hague, Esq., of Pittsburg, A. B. Burns and D. T. Webster, Esq., of Montrose, Ben. L.Hewitt, Esq., Hollidaysburg, Dr. B, H. Warren of West Chester, Hon. Henry C.Ford and John Gay of Philadelphia, and W.L. Powell of Harrisburg, for valuable notes upon the distribution and habits of the species. Mr. Barton A Bean, assistant curator of the department of fishes, United States National Museum, rendered much assistance in preparing the descriptions and drawings of the species. The scope of this paper does not include statistics of the commercial fisheries, but it may be of interest to remark that, considering-the short lake coast of the state, amounting to only forty-seven miles, it is the scene of the most important fisheries of the state. According to the Review of the Fisheries of the Great Lakes in 1885, published in the report of the United States Fish Commission, Erie then had nineteen pound-nets and 10,700 gill-nets. Erie fishermen caught nearly two thirds of all the white fish taken in the lake in that year, their catch amounting to more than 2, 000, 000 pounds out of a total of 3,500,000 pounds.

Book Description
At least 162 species of fish are known to live or spawn in the freshwaters of the Northeast, representing twenty-eight families and sixteen orders. This diversity springs from an enormous variety of freshwater habitats, including some of the largest lakes in the world; vast and complex river systems; deep, clear lakes in Maine and the Adirondack Mountains; and myriad small lakes, bogs, marshes, and streams that dot the northeast. In the most comprehensive book of its kind, Robert G. Werner offers a thorough survey and analysis, in accessible field guide form, of the region’s abundant freshwater fishes. Werner’s discussion of the geological history of the region serves as a critical background for understanding not only the fascinating habitats of fishes but also the extensive watersheds and drainages of the region. A reference list provides up-to-date sources, and the species descriptions contain the latest relevant data and research on specific fish. In addition, vivid color plates and extensive line drawings illustrate fish morphology and the distinctive natural colors of numerous species. As a standard resource, this guide will attract a wide audience. This book will be useful to biologists, ecologists, and zoologists and will have an indispensable appeal among anglers, environmentalists, and fisheries professionals.
