RE: Tips and pitfalls to Fish Identification
(05-31-2013 06:36 AM)OldTimer Wrote: I finally had time to investigate the FishBase site you mentioned. Fishbase is quite impressive. Sometimes I find incomplete entries. What I find helpful is to google the fish I want to ID and then "similar species", it points me towards resources that explain how to differentiate similar fish. For example I google fathead minnow "similar species" To learn that the bluntnose minnow looks very similar to fathead. Ken also has a neat trick on Fishbase to discover which similar species of fish can be found in a particular area. ![[Image: logobgs.png]](http://ontarioshorefishing.com/images/logobgs.png)
