FISH IDENTIFICATION DIVER
There are around 30,000 fish in the world! While this course can’t teach you to recognize them all, it will provide you with the skills necessary to look them up, and the ability to identify many of the most common fish in your area; including the humuhumunukunukuapua’a.
Students will learn to use body shape, fin shape, mouth placement, color pattern, swimming style, behavior, and habitat to identify the common reef fish families. With a little travel and a lot of practice you may be able to identify the more than 3,000 reef fishes the same way professional marine biologists do during surveys.
