About DjVu
The entire, unrevised edition of Fishes of Wisconsin is accessible on this site using the DjVu plug-in. You can navigate through the book using the pull-down menus on the left side, the complete table of contents by page on the left, or the toolbar across the bottom (visible when viewing a page in DjVu). Note that the page numbers on the toolbar start with the cover and, therefore, don't match the numbers printed in the book.
Resizing the frames within the window will give you more space to view the text.
For more information about using the plug-in, right click while viewing any DjVu page and choose the "help" option. If you have any problems downloading or using the plug-in, see the troubleshooting guidelines and please email us.
