Fish Identification

[madcaravanner]

After following another post in a different part of Anglerscircle I have set up a Fish identification album on my Photobucket site

If anyone wants to send me more pictures I will add them in it will help folk who don't fish the sea regularly to work out what they caught


I've moved this thread and am opening up the photo album to all fish which will be in sub Albums AND if you want to post a fishy picture email me it and I'll include it

Bare in mind that there are 4 species of rockling

Shore Rockling Gaidropsarus mediterraneus
Three Bearded Rockling Gaidropsarus vulgaris
Four Bearded Rockling Enchelyopus cimbrius
Five Bearded Rockling Ciliata mustela


Greater Forkbeard Phycis blennoides and tadpole fish Raniceps raninus are similar species too.
