Product Description
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. ... Read more

This is a great field guide, but this copy is not as described in the description
I have an old copy of this book (original 1997 printing) that is waterproof and included a waterproof fish-viewing bag. This new copy (3rd printing) I just ordered from Amazon is written on glossy non-waterproof paper and doesn't include the fish viewing bag. I never would have ordered this copy if I knew it wasn't waterproof as I intend to take it into the field. Anyway, this is going back to Amazon and I'm going to look for an original waterproof copy.

Field Identification of Coastal Juvenile Salmonids
This booklet is an excellent resource for educators (elementary through college, families, and resource management/research groups) with need for a practical and easy to use guide to identify juvenile salmonids in thePacific Northwest and Alaska. The 32 page soft covered booklet is easilyslipped into a daypack or coat pocket. The guide is printed on waterresistant paper that will not fall apart even if it accompanies the user onan unexpected icy cold plunge into the stream. Mud and slime wipe cleanfrom the pages with a moist cloth.

The content of the book is excellent.Included are color illustrations and photographs of all the speciesdescribed, including Atlantic salmon which are more and more often findingtheir way into Pacific Northwest streams. Also included are pen and inkdrawings that help the user identify key diagnostic feature. Having thethree views of each species is very helpful in arriving at a correctidentification.

In addition to information pertinent to any basictaxonomic key, the guide includes helpful clues about habitat usage,behavior and life history that direct users to the best locations forfinding each species. This booklet accompanies all my crews when they taketo the streams for salmon management and research activities.

Best field guide I have seen for Pacific salmonids.
The plastic bag viewing chamber is a great addition for the identification of juvenile salmonids. The illustrations are very understandable and the photography is very good, with standardized backgrounds a real plus. Thismanual will be very useful for our salmon and steelhead restoration projectfor making sure those involved will have a resource for checking theidentification of salmonids that is of the highest quality. ...
