What is Fishes?

The app is an identification guide for the shore-fish fauna of the Caribbean and adjacent areas. It covers 1,693 species with over 8,200 images to help identify them. The app has a complete English and Spanish interface and works independently of the internet. It includes a page for each species with a detailed description, images, key features, and a map of its regional range. The app also has a search engine, glossary of scientific terms, and a notebook module to record observations about fishes.



Software Features and Description

1. • A page for each species includes a detailed description (with information on its form, color, size, habitat and depth range), 1 or more species images (primarily photographs), key-features that distinguish it from similar species, a link to a page displaying similar species, and a map of its regional range.

2. • New for this version: option to work with either the entire fauna or a diver subgroup; 94 more species and almost 50% more images; habitat added to the fish ID search engine.

4. This App is the second of a set of 2 portable identification guides for Apple touch-screen devices that will cover the shore-fish faunas of the tropical American marine regions on both sides of the central American Isthmus: the Tropical Eastern Pacific, the Greater Caribbean (Caribbean and adjacent areas).

5. • Browse among alphabetic lists of species and species-within-families, changing name-sorting between scientific and common (first or last) names.

6. • A search engine uses any combination of generic common names, location, habitat, and fish features (shape, color pattern and colors) to identify fishes.

7. • The notebook module allows (1) review of recently visited species pages and (2) construction of lists that record observations about fishes.

Top Pcmac Reviews

  • The best and better than any book

    By 8mobius (Pcmac user)

    This is by far the best fish app for the Caribbean. It is even better than the best reference books. An incredible resource. To think that people pay for others such as the Audubon guide when this is free!
  • Terminology issues

    By Dash map (Pcmac user)

    Too much complex detail for young people. Would like to have the option to switch from metric to standard weights and measurements.
  • Ideal app for divers

    By N-nn-nn (Pcmac user)

    I have told every diver I know about this app. It is amazing for fish ID, with multiple photos, complex search parameters, and tons of info. Best of all it works offline! It's comparable to the Humann/DeLoach Reef Fish ID books--high praise. Thanks Smithsonian!
  • Language option?

    By VmadCross (Pcmac user)

    It would be great if the language of the app could be either English or Spanish not depending on the language your cellphone has.
