How do I identify a fish from a photo?

Take a clear side photo that shows the body shape, fins, tail, mouth, and markings. Fish Identifier compares those traits and returns the most likely species with distinguishing details.

How accurate are the suggestions?

Results are best-effort AI suggestions, not expert confirmation. Similar species, poor lighting, partial views, juvenile forms, and regional variation can cause mistakes. Verify important results with a field guide, qualified expert, or current official source.

Can I save fish I catch?

Yes. Each result can be saved with its photo, suggested species, date, and optional location to create a personal catch journal.

Can I ask follow-up questions about a fish?

Yes. The chat uses the saved result as context. Its answers are AI-generated and must not replace current fishing regulations, food-safety advice, conservation rules, or professional guidance.
