BAP Rules and Program Definitions:

2. The name of a fish, scientifically, is recognized as genus, species and sub-species.  A sub-species as accepted by the BAP committee, is a naturally occurring population different from another sub-species only in color and geographic location.  Sub-species is recognized by the BAP program as those found in publications acceptable to the BAP Chairs.  If the scientific community later recognizes a fish (sub-species) to be a truly different species, or the taxonomic name(s) are changed the BAP comittee will reclassify each animal appropriately.

3. All fish MUST be registered by scientific name.  If you know that the scientific name has changed recently, add all the previous synonyms to the BAP report that you know it used to be called by.

4. Eggs must be obtaind from your own spawning and not purchased from an outside source.

5. Any Paid-up member is eligible to participate in this program.
