Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Distribution and Food of the Fishes of Three Wisconsin Lakes in Summer Except for the reconnoissance of Reighard little has been published on the ecology of lake fishes. For several years the writer has been studying the distribution, food, and parasites of the fishes in Wisconsin lakes. In 1916 routine catches were made in Lake Wingra, which is small and shallow (pearse and Achtenberg, During the summer of 1919 the fishes in Green Lake and Lake Mendota were investigated (pearse, The former lake is remarkable for its depth and clearness, the latter for the stagnation of its deeper parts during the summer. In 1920 work was done on three lakes: -lake Pepin, which is a part of the Mississippi River and yet shows typical lacustrine conditions; Lake Michigan, representative of primitive lake habitats for the St. Lawrence drainage; and Lake Geneva, the clearest and deepest lake on the Mississippi drain age. The study of the ecology of the Wisconsin lake fishes has progressed to such a stage that it is now possible to compare the fishes in six different types of lakes. Though this paper deals primarily with the three lakes studied during 1920, it also makes comparisons between all the lakes investigated, and thus gives a general summary of the work. Table I contains data relating to all the lakes considered. The lakes are arranged according to the total volume of water.
