Gerald R. Smith is Professor Emeritus of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Michigan and Curator Emeritus of Fishes for the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology. He is editor of Fishes of the Great Lakes Region, Revised Edition.
"Just as people who go to a ballpark purchase programs to identify
the players, people who go fishing in the Great Lakes will need
this book to identify their catches. Smith is a long time,
well-known student of these fishes, and his small book is easy to
carry while fishing. Damstra's color illustrations of each species
and the photographs of fishes likely to be confused with the
species covered on each pair of pages are excellent."
--D. Bardack, emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago
“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.”
—Northern Mariner
