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.
