With growing public concern about biodiversity and conservation, inaccurate identification of wild species is becoming more important. This set of keys to British Columbia fishes is an attempt to provide rapid and dependable field identifications of freshwater fish by those who are not taxonomists, unlike traditional keys which are designed for use with preserved specimens and are filled with obscure jargon and complicated directions. Information is included in this guide that is rarely incorporated in traditional keys, such as where a fish was caught (geographic locality and site-specific habitat) and what it looks like when alive. To simplify the keys, the guide divides the province into eight zoogeographic regions, generally corresponding to major drainage basins. The appendix contains a conventional key for use on preserved material and includes all the species known to occur in British Columbia.
