The Fishes Of Maine (1914)

The Fishes of Maine is a comprehensive guide to the aquatic life found in the state of Maine, written by William Converse Kendall and first published in 1914. The book is divided into two parts: the first covers the general characteristics of Maine's freshwater and saltwater fish species, including their physical appearance and behavior, while the second provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of each individual species.The book is written in a scientific but accessible style, making it suitable for both amateur and professional naturalists. Kendall's descriptions are accompanied by detailed illustrations, many of which were drawn by the author himself. The book covers a wide range of fish species, from the common brook trout to the elusive and rarely seen deep-sea species.Throughout the book, Kendall emphasizes the importance of conservation and responsible fishing practices, and provides practical advice for anglers looking to catch and release fish in a sustainable manner. The Fishes of Maine remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the aquatic life of this northeastern state, and is a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of Maine's waterways.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
