Missouri Fish Identification
A dichotomous key is a tool used to ID trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. "Dichotomous" means "divided into two parts.” Therefore, dichotomous keys always give two choices in each step.
Start With Family
Begin at beginning.Need to use glossary for
definitions. One bad guess and you lose.Ex. Pectoral and pelvic fins
absent, Lampreys Go to page 38.
On To Genus
Need to use pictures of anatomy. One bad guess and you lose.Ex. Eyes developed; Dorsal fin divided
into two distinct parts - go to page step 6.
