GENERAL COMMENTS SECTION

Fish Species Codes for B.C.


Standardized two and three character codes for fish species have been established and used in British Columbia for several years. The abbreviations currently in use are presented below. Consistent use of these codes are necessary to eliminate confusion and errors often associated with trying to decipher personal abbreviations for fish species. This list of species includes those found in British Columbia or known to have been introduced at some period.
