Flatfish
REEF Pacific Northwest Survey Critters
Click on the picture or the name to see more pictures of each species. The photos are organized in the same order as the REEF Pacific Northwest Survey Form. As you can tell, I'm still missing some pictures... And a few of my pictures come from California, although as best as I can tell, they are all identified correctly. The critters here are limited to the critters on the REEF Survey form for the Pacific Northwest. To see my entire collection of critters, check out my Puget Sound Marine Life Index Page. For more information about REEF, check out REEF, or PNW Scuba Critter Watchers. Unless otherwise noted, all pictures are my own. (Copyright 2006: scuba.huskychemist.org)
