The goal of this lab is to prepare you to be able to identify fish species by their key characteristics, and to learn some natural history about the major groups of fish. You will be tested on this material in a quiz one week from today.

DO NOT remove these folders from the lab. Be gentle with the specimens in the lab. Perch for dissection are available at the side table. Share your fish with one or more people, and return the fish to the bucket if it is still useable by another group. Safety Exercises Complete the following exercises.
