Professor Signs Copies of Book on Laguna Madre

Dr. David McKee, professor of biology and mariculture, signed copies of his new book “Fishes of the Texas Laguna Madre” Saturday, Sept. 27, at Barnes & Noble Booksellers. McKee will sign his book for purchasers on campus Thursday, Oct. 9, from 3-5 p.m. on the first-floor atrium of the Bell Library.
           

“Fishes of the Texas Laguna Madre” covers the history of the "Mother Lagoon" and provides insights into the characteristics and habits of the fish found in this hyper-saline environment, especially the "Big 5" coastal sport fish. McKee offers additional notes on angling techniques, personal observations, record catches, and regulations. He also raises important conservation issues for boaters and anglers to keep in mind while enjoying this unusual ecosystem.
