An eye-catching poster that provides an intriguing glimpse into the world of Great Lakes fish identification.
There are more than 170 species of fish that inhabit the waters of the Great Lakes region. While many look similar in shape and size, each belongs to a family that exhibits particular characteristics. These distinguishing features, combined with information on geographic range and behavior, help us observe and identify specific species.
This educational poster was originally developed for the Project FLOW (Fisheries Learning on the Web) curriculum produced by Michigan Sea Grant. While this poster is now out of print, this image is available for educational purposes and use.
