Books
- Bluegills: Biology and Behavior - The bluegill is arguably the most popular freshwater sportfish in North America – it has been introduced into every state but Alaska. Bluegills also have been exported worldwide for sport, aquaculture, or as forage for larger fishes. Spotte’s book is a synopsis of what we know about bluegills.
- Centrarchid Fishes: Diversity, Biology and Conservation - Coverage includes diversity, ecomorphology, phylogeny and genetics, hybridization, reproduction, early life history and recruitment, feeding and growth, ecology, migrations, bioenergetics, physiology, diseases, aquaculture, fisheries management and conservation.
- Culture of Nonsalmonid Freshwater Fishes - Description of important techniques and practices for the culture of some of the most widely cultured nonsalmonid species used for human consumption (channel catfish, tilapia, carp) for stocking freshwater bodies for recreational fishing (bass, walleye, striped bass), and for bait (minnows).
- A Manual of Fish Culture - Originally published by the U.S. Commission on Fisheries in 1897, contains descriptions of culture techniques for more than 40 species or groups of finfishes, plus lobsters, oysters, clams, and frogs. When published, it contained all the information needed by fish culturists. The techniques and practices described in the Manual became the standard for aquaculturists and the forerunner of the technical publications of today.

- Artificial Propagation of Warm-Water Finfishes: A Manual for Extension - FAO, Fisheries and Aquaculture Dept.
- A Hatchery Manual for Common, Chinese and Indian Major Carps - Designed as a reference source on carp seed production and as a mini-library for those stationed at seed production centers remote from scientific information channels.
- Bigheaded Carps: A Biological Synopsis and Environmental Risk Assessment
- A detailed risk assessment and biological synopsis of the bigheaded carps of the genus Hypophthalmichthys, which includes the bighead, silver, and largescale silver carps. The book summarizes the scientific literature describing their biology, ecology, uses, ecological effects, and risks to the environment.
