FIELD IDENTIFICATION OF COASTAL JUVENILE SALMONIDS:
W.R. Pollard & G.F. Hartman & C. Groot & Phil Edgell, illustrated by C. Groot, photos by Phil Edgell
Correctly identifying young salmonids improves the accuracy of resource management information,
leading to a fuller knowledge of the distribution and status of fish stocks. Until now, identifying coastal salmonids
during their fry to smolt life stages in freshwater and saltwater estuaries of the Pacific Northwest has been difficult
due to the lack of comprehensive, practical information. This guide was written and compiled by top fisheries biologists
from government and industry who wanted to make available a simple, easy-to-use system for identifying 10 of the most
common species of juvenile salmon, trout and char in the field.
The guide uses high-quality photos, colour illustrations and detailed drawings to show distinguishing physical
features for each species. A fish viewing bag provided with the guide helps identify most fish in the field, and
an easy-to-follow chart facilitates identification of the three major groupings and individual species. Habitat use
information and maps help to determine where and when various species may be found for sampling.
