sealord > This boarfish, Capros aper, was brought to me by Guernsey commercial fisherman, Shane Petit, on 23 February 2002.  Boarfish are rarely caught in Guernsey waters.  They are common in deeper water in the western English Channel.  Sometimes south-westerly gales and storms bring them into shallower water.
