BC Fish Colouring Sheets

Print off these illustrations by Royal BC Museum curator of vertebrate zoology, Dr. Gavin Hanke and colour away!

Colour from your imagination (what colours would you like your fish to be?) or check online sources to find out real life colours of these fishes. Keep in mind that the colour you see depends on:

• what the lighting was like when the photo was taken
• any colour correction done before the image was published online
• slight changes your own computer monitor will make
