Treat - think - and be wary, for tomorrow they may die

For some very strange reason it is easy to minimize the villian's role, played by disease-producing organisms, in the theater of modern fish culture.

Morphometry of the cisco, Leucichthys artedi (Le Sueur), in the lakes of the Northeastern Highlands, Wisconsin

In an earlier study (Hile, 1936) a detailed investigation was presented of the age and growth of the ciscoes of Trout Lake, Musckellunge Lake, Silver Lake, and Clear Lake in northeastern Wisconsin. It was demonstrated that the growth rate of the cisco varies widely from lake to lake within the same geographical area, and that these differences in growth rate show a close correlation with certain e
