Use the key to identify the fish. Start by reading the first pair of statements, then decide which of the two statements describes your specimen. The statement you choose will either give you the identity of your fish or direct you to another numbered pair of statements.
Record each number from the key that you use to identify each organism in the Numbers from the key column in Table 1.
When you have finally identified your fish, record its scientific and common names in the appropriate columns of Table 1.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for additional specimens. An example has been completed for you.
