FISH IDENTIFICATION SLIDE SETS
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?

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?

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

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

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.

URRRRRRRGGG. Why is the hyperlink NOT working?
Awesome video. But that music drives me INSANE. I can't take it. :X Were pretty much on the same page. I had know idea the process it took to make an atoll. 300,000,000 years seems like a looooooooong time for something to form. But when you see p...
OK, so I get the feeling EVERYONE wants to visit one. So... why don't we just all go there?
Awesome video. I forgot all about that.
;)
And yes... atolls are "rare" in terms of the total surface area of the Earth in which they cover. However, in some areas (the South pacific) they are certainly relatively more common. I too concur- I hav...
Well... yes and no. A "barrier reef" certainly IS a stage of reef/atoll formation. However, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, as well as the Florida Keys/Bahamas are a different sort of "barrier reef" in many ways. You are all doing a good job ...
Yep- that's another one we will examine in tonight's session.
North End peeps will always make the connection to the "Krug Park Lagoon"... which... is obviously a different sort of thing. ;)
The type of reef we will study in the Keys is a unique type... this will come up in tonight's session!
You just claimed Spongebob to be an educational tool? You have now climbed the ladder of awesomeness (in my mind) to an all-new level!
While there are a lot of good things about the reefs to talk about and analyze in a much greater depth, I will only talk about those in a few short sentences. In truth, most of this stuff we learned about with the reefs themselves, I learned when ...
Absolutely amazing!
Hmm...I also had heard of the Great Barrier Reef, but I never knew it was a stage of formation. I think I thought it was actually just part of the name...
I'm afraid I disagree, Carsen. Spongebob is a great educational tool. (Here's the Goo Lagoon for future reference...) I definitely learned that sponges were living creatures. =D
But I also didn't know what an atoll was. Or where a lagoon was loca...
Last weeks discussion was also amazing for me. I learned so much and was totally interested. I definitely agree that bombing Enewetok was a terrible idea!
The story about the seashell is crazy! Thank you for sharing it with us. It helped me to und...
I totally had the wrong idea about lagoons as well! Whenever I hear the word “lagoon” I always think of a nasty creature crawling out of a green swampy area. Haha. I had also never heard of an atoll as well until this class. I had always thought t...
First of all, I searched for an animation of the coral formation process and found this site. Not only does it clearly explain the formation, it also reveals a fascinating fact: "The process of atoll formation may take as long as 30,000,000 years ...
Last class did clear up a lot of information about the atolls relating to the book The Enchanted Braid, and when the coral reef causes the volcano to sink, where does it sink to? Isn't it already at the bottom next to the tectonic plates? That wou...
I did not know there were different types of coral either until last mondays class. It was cool to find out information about how the coral reef can only grow in certain temperatures, being mostly warm temps. around the equator. Nice job Paula!
One definite "aha" moment was the stages of an atoll formation. The only thing close I knew about the formation was when an active partially underwater volcano erupts, it creates an island over time. I had no clue that the island sinks creating la...
