FISH IDENTIFICATION SLIDE SETS

[Sean Nash]

Use this forum for embedding fish ID slide sets from Slideshare.net (or any other online presentation software that is compatible). Upload your slide series with solid documentation of what your set includes, any details we might need during or before studying the slides, and any reflections you have from the act of researching and creating your set. This does not have to be done soon. In fact, if you are uncertain of how to do this, we will be covering the nuts & bolts of exporting, uploading and embedding in our next face-to-face meeting.

I am including an embedded set on just a single species to model this. Again, this is just to give you something to look at... to keep in mind as you go forth. You do not need a number of slides even close to the number for this set for the typical species. Also- the way to make each "build" (or- animated detail) come up as a separate mouse-click is something I did by importing the slide show into Keynote and exporting out as a .pdf (while selecting print a page for each "build").

Let's plan to have these complete (but not necessarily updated) by our next face-to-face meeting on July 1st. At that time a peer-review session -followed by a bit of exporting technical advice- will get your work ready for publishing. As always- when you run into trouble finding suitable images, just message me. I have quite a collection.

I hope this helps...

Do we have to do that much detail on each of our slides? I was wondering because when we did it at benton for the French Angelfish, it was just one slide, but here you did it with multiple slides for one fish.

Can you just specify what we need exactly?
We need a picture for each phase of it's life (example: adult, intermediate, juvenile)
We need to label those, and label the things the book says about it and point to it with an arrow
anything else?

[Sean Nash]

No- good question. I'm glad you asked.

Really- I mainly wanted to demonstrate the use of embedded Slideshare sets for this project.
I did this little set a few years back for a particularly difficult species. This one was worth a
handful of slides. But, no... like you said, the example in class featured one single slide.
That was the model I gave because that worked pretty solidly. If it works in one slide, keep it
to one slide.

That said, feel free to add anything else from the book for a species that feels necessary for
a good identification. So yes- you'll probably have a list of species all on one slide each, and
perhaps one or two that require more slide space. No "limits" or "numbers" involved here.
We just want all 18 to be able to identify each species on the fly under the water.

Thanks much,

Nash

I'm having trouble finding an adult beaugregory photo. All the photos are of a similar species. Is there any specific place I can look for a picture of one?

[Sean Nash]

Lauren...

Check your email.
I just sent you several images.

thanks

ok so i have grunts and i am not finding anything about the adolescence year so i dont know what all i have to put on there. also, in the book not all the juveniles are listed or have pictures so on this i also dont know what to do. i still have the example but it kinda only worked for about 2 of them so far

[Brett Gilpin]

That probably just means that the juveniles look like smaller versions of the adults.

[Sean Nash]

Actually- as far as juveniles go... you have perhaps the toughest group of them all. In fact, we don't worry too much about sight ID of the juvenile grunts because they are rarely, if at all, found on the reef itself. The only time we might find them is in a shallow-water snorkel of mangrove communities in the adjacent area. We'll see if that happens in the Keys...

Don't worry about juvies with the grunts.
