The Okefenokee Swamp, located in southeastern Georgia and northern Florida, is the largest freshwater wetland in the United States. In this illustrated guide to the fishes of the swamp, Joshua Laerm and B. J. Freeman provide descriptions and drawings of thirty-six species, ranging from the American eel to the speckled madtom, chain pickerel, and blackbanded darter. For each fish, the authors include latinate, common, and variant names and discuss differences from similar species, local habitats as well as occurrences beyond the Okefenokee, and feeding and mating patterns. With each entry Laerm and Freeman also relate brief comments and tips borrowed from the folklore of the swamp and the experience of fishermen and cooks. The guide thus notes the variety of bait--from kernels of corn to rotten liver--that will hook a catfish; discusses which fishes are more easily taken by gigging; reveals the sport involved in catching the flavorful American eel; and identifies those fishes, such as the swamp darter, that are common as aquarium pets. Providing descriptions, drawings, and scientific and general information, "Fishes of the Okefenokee Swamp" is a complete handbook for the angler, naturalist, and scholar.

Biogenic and simulated nutrient enrichment increased levels of various ecological components of Okefenokee Swamp marshes. Fertilization by wading birds and an artificial experimental source increased stores of phosphorus in diverse links of the food web. Simulation modeling lent support to the hypothesis that birds mediated such changes that persisted after they abandoned this ecosystem. To simulate nutrient enrichment from birds, I placed pots of enriched agar inside clear enclosures. In the laboratory, pots released a mean of 45 mg NH$\sb4$-N d$\sp{-1}$ and 11 mg PO$\sb4$-P d$\sp{-1}$ into water. In the marsh, mesocosms containing pots had higher stocks of zooplankton (primarily Diaphanosoma brachyurum) than controls. These results demonstrate that simulation of enrichment remaining after birds left can cause significant effects on zooplankton primary consumers in the marshes. Evidence was presented for residual enrichment by a biotic component of the ecosystem itself, the birds. One to two years after they abandoned the marsh, it showed continued nutrient effects. Elevated available phosphorus in sediments contributed to enhanced levels of phytoplankton. Planktivorous fish were greater in biomass than at reference sites. These results and the zooplankton data suggest residual enrichment effects of birds on sediments, and indirectly on plankton and fish. I measured the trophic transfer to Leptolucania ommata and Gambusia affinis, in situ. Both fishes ate mainly insect larvae (such as Chironomidae) and Cladocera. Consumption by both species in summer (26.31 mg m$\sp{-2}$ d$\sp{-1}$) supports a hypothesis that invertebrate prey production must be substantial in such blackwater marshes. Trophic model dynamics were checked by seasonal data before, during and after simulated nutrient input from birds. The model reasonably estimates effects of enrichment on benthic detritus, aquatic macrophytes and phytoplankton, and conservatively estimates the increase of zooplankton

From mudminnows and sunfishes to lampreys and sturgeons, the guide describes more than one hundred fifty species of freshwater and coastal estuarine fishes that spend all or major portions of their lives in the fresh waters of South Carolina. For each species the authors provide diagnostic characteristics including size, markings, similar species, and sexual dimorphism as well as information on biology, habitat, and distribution. Color photographs and detailed distribution maps accompany each description. --from publisher description.
