Author Information

The Kansas Fishes Committe members represent each of the six state universities (Emporia State, Fort Hays State, Kansas State, Pittsburg State, and Wichita State Universities, and the University of Kansas), as well as the Kansas Biological Survey, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism-the people responsible for studying, protecting and educating people about the fishes and waters of Kansas. In addition to the committee, nearly 50 biologists from the United States and Canada volunteered to contribute species accounts to the book based on their expertise with those species in Kansas and nearby states. These individuals work for a variety of universities, federal and state agencies and private companies, making this book a broad collaboration of experts on the fish species of Kansas. Joseph R. Tomelleri, an avid fisherman and naturalist, has travelled more than 200,000 miles over the past twenty-five years to collect live fishes. His illustrations have appeared in over a thousand places, including magazines, advertisements, greeting cards, t-shirts, furniture, posters, trading cards, identification guides and thirty books.
