This fold-out chart is designed to enable children (from age 7 upwards) and beginners to identify the main animal groups found in freshwater, both still water (lakes and ponds) and running water (streams and rivers). None of the identification in the key goes beyond family level, and some of it stays at the phylum or class.

This chart is part of the FSC's range of fold-out charts, designed to help users identify of a wide range of plants and animals. Each chart is laminated to make it splash-proof and robust for use outdoors. Clear colour illustrations and text by experts in the subject make these valuable resources for all age groups.
