Learn about the fish families the inhabit Puget Sound.... the Spiny-Headed bottom
Dwellers.... The Right-Eyed Flatfish... The Lumpsuckers.... we know it starts to sound like mafia families and gives new meaning
to sleep with the fishes, but they are really cute once you get to know them!
After learning about basic Fish Anatomy, Families & Id methods we will take a stroll through
~ 40 of the specific fish you are likely to be fortunate to encounter in our local waters. We don't focus on crazy scientific
names and obscure latinisms, although Latin names are provided, instead we focus on giving you the tools to identify those
cool critters you keep running across and wondering 'what is that'?
