“Fishes of Montana,” a free app, launches this month (June 2019) includes photos and descriptions of the state’s more than 90 fish species as well as distribution maps.
MSU professor Chris Guy says they wanted to digitize the book of the same name in a mobile-friendly form to make the guide more available.
The app also lists 10 species that biologists don’t want in the state. Guy says officials are trying to use app as a tool to prevent the spread of these invasive species.
The app was developed by High Country Apps in collaboration with scientists at Montana State University and Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks. The scientists behind it hope it will help people get to know the state’s piscine inhabitants better.
It will have a list of at least 91 species that live in Montana — including trout, walleye, sturgeon and more.
