Drum Fish Printing Replica 

This flexible drum fish replica (10 inch) features one side of the fish; the reverse is flat. To make a fish print, simply ink the fish and roll on paper to “capture” the species as a print. When finished, replicas can be easily cleaned with soapy water. Fish printing, the Japanese art of Gyotaku, is an excellent way to combine science and art! We also offer a variety of washable block inks, ink rollers, and rice paper to enhance your fish printing activities.

Drum are found throughout North America in lakes and rivers, the drum is named from the drumming sound males make with their air bladders and surrounding muscle tissue. This sound often puzzles lake and river divers when they hear it for the first time. Drums can reach up to 25 pounds, with most averaging several pounds. Although thought of as a freshwater fish, drums also occasionally move through estuaries into marine environments.
