The Fishes of the Western North Atlantic series, which began
publication in the 1940s by Yale University's Sears Foundation for
Marine Research, was from its beginnings conceived to synthesize
and make accessible the wealth of information in widely scattered
published accounts of the fish fauna of the region for both the
layman and the specialist, presenting critical reviews rather than
compilations. These reference works are still considered valuable
and of interest today to both general audiences and the academic
community. As described in the Preface to the first volume, the
series was "written on the premise that it should be useful to
those in many walks of life-to those casually ... interested ...,
to the sportsman ..., to the fisherman ..., as well as to the
amateur ichthyologist and the professional scientist." These books
remain authoritative studies of the anadromous, estuarine, and
marine fishes of the waters of the western North Atlantic from
Hudson Bay southward to the Amazon, ranking as primary references
for both amateurs and professionals interested in fishes, and as
significant working tools for students of the sea.
