Fish Identification for Divers. 21st March 2009. Exploris Aquarium Portaferry.
This one-day course in fish identification for divers will be led by Dr Frances Dipper, author of 'British Sea Fishes'. It will include an introduction to the form and function of fishes, and cover their life history, feeding and reproduction. We will go on to look at the range of fishes which can be seen by divers in British and Irish waters and how to identify them underwater, including looking at the aquarium's temperate water tanks. Finally we will look at some of the conservation issues affecting fish in our waters.
The course is aimed primarily at divers with the intention of improving fish recognition skills for those who want to take part in Seasearch surveys. However, you do not need to be a Seasearch diver to take part. The cost of the day is £30, this includes entry to Exploris Aquarium, a course pack, pocket Good Fish Guide, and tea/coffee. There is no diving during the course. Contact claire.goodwin at gmail.com for more information (Seasearch NI Co-ordinator)
