The Baitfish Primer mobile app is a digital field guide that helps users to identify and protect Ontario’s baitfishes wherever they go. The app was developed for and funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Featuring comprehensive species accounts and a built-in identification tool, the Baitfish Primer mobile app can help fishers and recreational water users of all skill levels identify the legal and illegal baitfishes of Ontario. With this app you will soon be able to distinguish a Creek Chub from a Longnose Dace with relative ease. Positively identifying fishes of all sizes is vital to protecting aquatic ecosystems, as many species have been listed as at risk or invasive and are prohibited for use as baitfish.
