Fisheries Research Bulletins

 

The Fisheries Research Section of Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife regularly publishes Fish Research Bulletins on a wide variety of topics. These bulletins are usually associated with special research projects designed to answer crucial questions regarding management and conservation of fishes in Kentucky. Here you will find a complete list of Fish Research B​ulletins, including Bulletin #1, written in 1941 by Minor E. Clark.
