Not many fisheries have Prussians in the UK so far, this was a fairly chunky one caught by my mate Leigh today. The fishery has had them DNA tested and EA are aware of them. They look a bit like giant goldfish and can clone themselves with other fish providing the sperm very weird fish.

It's been a superb year for grey triggerfish in the UK enjoying the warm water. Most will die off in the winter storms but this time of year they are pretty much at peak numbers.

Most people think of Norway for halibut but we do get them in the UK also especially northern scotland where these giant flatfish are top predators.

This pokemon looking critter is the lumpsucker so imaginatively called because it sucks onto rocks with a disc on its belly and is lumpy. More common in the north of britain they like kelpy areas to hide away in.

Eyes perhaps bigger then her belly pike will eat fish over half the body length even when they are small.

Wolffish are a more northern species found in some coastal scottish waters but more often associated with Norway. The blunt teeth are perfect for crushing urchins, crabs and shellfish.

Their is is something just primordial about a big pike and the pike family (Esocidae) and the genus Esox first appear in the fossil record 60 to 66 million years ago during the Paleocene epoch.

You might of heard of golden tench but did you know you can get white or sometimes called blue tench also? This was one I photographed at Anglers Paradise a few years ago.
