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.

Before last class time’s discussion I was totally confused! I wasn’t exactly sure why the island sinks so I assumed it was because of the weight of the coral. I now understand that it is because of the weight of the magma. (the coral is just a contr…
There isn't much that was cleared up for me during last class, because I had taken it the exact way that it was intended from the class before it. However, I learned a few things that basically just clarified what I already knew. The idea that Mr. N…
This should work.
When we covered Midway in class, the whole atoll idea really set in. Once I made the connection between Midway and atolls, I immediately understood them a lot better. The whole idea that we bombed one is amazing still, but if you think about it, we…
Breathtaking. I want to go see one!
Very true I guess but if nothing else, this proves it. And also, if they did not do this, it could have been just another resort island where people come and go all the time so the coral would have been killed or damaged.
Last Monday's class cleared up how the atolls sank, the coral is not the major cause of their sinking, it is the weight of the magma that comes out of the volcano. I was confused about how the coral weighed this much, but this cleared it up for me.
One thing that really was cleared up for me last class was the fact that reefs don't cause islands to sink. It is caused by the magma moving underneath the surface of the plate. I also thought it was cool that there are more islands to Hawaii than w…
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 pic…
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 have…
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 of…
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 we…
Absolutely amazing!
