Anglers and fish enthusiasts have a new tool to aid them in identifying the countless varieties of fish found in Wisconsin waters. UW Sea Grant’s IT and communications team recently updated an online tool that offers a searchable database and identifies fish by name and appearance. The tool builds on a previous version created by UW Sea Grant, the UW Center for Limnology and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Currently accessible on you desktop or tablet, a mobile version is in the works and should be available later this year. Imagine pulling an unknown fish out of a Wisconsin lake and identifying it easily by consulting the images available on your smart phone. The future is now folks.
The Wisconsin Fish Identification site can be found at
