"The Fishes Found in the Vicinity of Woods Hole" is a detailed catalog of fish species observed near Woods Hole, Massachusetts, first published in 1898. Authored by Hugh McCormick Smith, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the ichthyofauna in this biologically rich area. The book offers valuable descriptions and observations of various fish species, making it a significant resource for marine biologists, naturalists, and anyone interested in the marine life of the Atlantic coast.
This historical text remains relevant for researchers studying changes in fish populations and distributions over time, as well as for those interested in the history of marine biology and ichthyology. It provides a snapshot of the marine environment at the end of the 19th century, offering insights into the biodiversity and ecological conditions of the region during that era.
