This magnificent, encyclopedic reference to 157 fish species—which are found not only in Wisconsin but also in much of the Great Lakes region and Mississippi River watershed—has been a model for all other such works. In addition to comprehensive species accounts, Becker discusses water resources and fisheries management from both historical and practical policy perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The most thorough, classic natural history,
By Kristen Blann (klb@fw.umn.edu) (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishes Of Wisconsin (Hardcover)
What makes this book one of the best is its painstaking & thorough documentation of all that is known about the natural history of each species. This includes not just published scientific accounts, but anecdotes, which are often the starting point of a good hypothesis. It leads one to a full appreciation of the behavioral diversity of freshwater fish.I am, BTW, in search of a copy of this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars
The standard in the field for native fish books,
By Sunfish fan (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fishes Of Wisconsin (Hardcover)
Easily the standard in the field of midwestern fishes. Dr. Beckers text is colorfull and extremly well writen . I makes the reader want to spend some time in the many lakes, creeks and ponds of Wisconsin in search of it's unique and beutifull native fish. This is the standard for the student, aquarist or naturalist interested in native fish.
