Fish Sorter vs NRKW ID

Fish Sorter helps users identify the almost 90 fish species found in lakes and streams of British Columbia, including 17 species that have been introduced from other areas. From the headwaters of the Yukon River to the Flathead River in southeastern BC, Fish Sorter will help you sort through the amazing diversity of our freshwater fishes. Many of these species are also found in adjacent areas of Yukon, Northwest Territories, Alaska, Alberta, Idaho, Montana, and Washington State. Unlike printed dichotomous keys, which use jargon and often require specialized knowledge, Fish Sorter uses easy-to-understand, illustrated questions that assume no prior knowledge and allows users to skip questions at any time. Fish Sorter includes almost 200 photos, current and former names, taxonomic details, clear morphological and ecological descriptions, geographic distributions, lists of other fishes that “could be confused with” your specimen, and brief summaries of life history and conservation information – all curated by Dr. Eric Taylor (Professor of Zoology, UBC). Hard copy guides can be quickly out-of-date, but Fish Sorter content will be regularly updated with naming revisions, additional photos, new species, and more. Plus, content is available anytime and does not require an internet connection, making Fish Sorter an excellent companion on any trip to BC’s lakes and streams while fishing, hiking, or camping. Great for educators, students, consultants, anglers, naturalists, and all fish enthusiasts! Thanks to photographers who provided images and to Derek Tan (UBC Beaty Biodiversity Museum) for image editing and illustrations.

This application provides up to date identification images of all live individuals belonging to the Northern Resident killer whale population. Annual updates will include the addition of images for new calves, revised images for individuals whose appearance has significantly changed and relevant notes. You can navigate by Clan, Pod and Matriline, or by sex and age class. In the ALL section, "Mature females" include all females 15 years of age or older, individuals over 14 who have not sprouted and any younger individuals who have given birth. "Mature males" include all individuals who have started sprouting, males with a dorsal fin that has reached its maximum height after sprouting, and all known males over 14 who have not started sprouting yet. "Juveniles" include all individuals aged between 4 and 14 years old and "Calves" include all individuals aged 3 or less. Individuals in the ALL section are arranged alphanumerically by name, whereas in the Matriline view, they are first laid out by generation, each of which is indented, and secondly by birth year. Identification images of each killer whale include information about the individual (name, sex, birth year, mother) and information about the image (photographer and year taken). Each image can be visualized in full screen by clicking on it. The News section provides information on the status of individuals in the Northern Resident killer whale population. **TERMS & CONDITIONS** These terms and conditions of service are a legal binding agreement between you and Bay Cetology governing your use of the NRKW ID Application.
