University of Texas at Austin professor Dr. Clark Hubbs worked, starting at least as early as the 1970's, toward the vision of producing a book on the Fishes of Texas. He relied for content primarily on his field notes and personal knowledge of the state's fish fauna that stemmed from his extensive statewide fish collecting activities for his diverse research projects. Those projects began in 1949 when he first came to UT and the preserved specimen collection produced later became the fish collection of UT's Texas Natural Science Center's (Formerly Texas Memorial Museum)Texas Natural History Collection (TNHC). Much more information on Dr. Hubbs is available from the Hubbs Ichthyological Society pages that we created and maintain.
