I go to my local fish market sometimes, Can i still make observations of these fishes? Because i know where they are collected from, even though the observation is made miles away from where it is collected. I understand that it should be marked as not wild or captive but when i know the location it…

Please upload them. It’s valuable knowledge. If you know the individual who collected the fish, and thus the correct location, that’s really great. But I’d do two things in that case: write on the observation how you know the collection location, for future reference make sure the accuracy circle…

I would absolutely use these observations, esp if you know the point of origin. Very rare species can often be located this way.

Yes, I think the quoted solution on the linked thread is very useful [image] How to deal with observations of fish on fish markets? I would either mark them as not wild or not the correct location. I can see the point about local small fish markets but unless you know how far their boat went fro…

So its good to upload them when you know the correct location?

[image] Italopithecus: Sorry but… how can you know it? Im friends with the folks who fish em, I know which dock the fish is collected from. [image] Italopithecus: Of course you can. Yeah, im just wondering if they can be of “Verifiable” Quality and not casual grade.

I would say that if you personally saw the fish at the dock and took the pics, and they were caught at the same dock, it’s fair to upload them there as wild. Otherwise, I would not. Users should not upload photos or sounds taken by others - observerations should be the users experience with nature.…

Yes, but if that’s the only way to share what could be an important observation, and the user knows what they need to know about the observed organism (location, date, etc.), then the observation is viable. Of course, we want iNat users to be able to experience nature for themselves, but we cannot u…

There is a West Coast of Africa fishing project - which works with the fishermen to record their catch. (Too many dead fish and bycatch for me - Mark as Reviewed)

[image] elpatitojuan2: Of course, we want iNat users to be able to experience nature for themselves Who’s to say what counts as a personal experience? I still remember walking down a beach and coming upon several tautog lying on the sand behind the angler who caught them. To this day, that is…
