Selected References on the Channel Catfish,
Ictalui-us punctatus — '

In compiling this list of references
I have not attempted to Include all litera-
ture on the channel catfish, but only those
references that contribute to the knowledge
of the natural history of this species ,
particularly its reproduction. Faunal
lists and statements of local or regional
distribution were deliberately omitted.
Unintentionally, important references may
have been omitted, and I will be grateful
to any reader who indicates such omission.

T am deeply grateful to Dr. John Van
Oosten, U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Ann Arbor, Michigan, for making the card
file of his and the Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice libraries available to me for this
compilation.
