Fish Identification Tools for Biodiversity and Fisheries Assessments - Review and Guidance for Decision-makers

This review provides an appraisal of existing, state-of-the-art fish identification (ID) tools (including some in the initial stage of their development) and shows their potential for providing the right solution in different real-life situations. The ID tools reviewed are: use of scientific experts (taxonomists) and local experts, taxonomic reference collections, image recognition systems, field guides based on dichotomous keys; interactive electronic keys (e.g. IPOFIS), morphometrics (e.g. IPez), scale and otolith morphology, genetic methods (Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and Barcode (BOL)) and Hydroacoustics.
