sealord > Unless you SCUBA dive the best place to see the wide variety of fish caught in Madeiran waters is to visit the Municipal fish market in Funchal or visit the concrete harbour wall at the small coastal town of Ribeira Brava on Madeira's south coast.  Here you will usually find recreational fishermen who land a wide variety of species from sharks to sea bream, jacks and even trumpetfish.  This guelly jack, Pseudocaranx dentex, was one of the many species landed by recreational fishermen on the harbour wall at Ribeira Brava.

sealord > This juvenile corkwing wrasse, Crenilabrus melops, or Symphodus (Crenilabrus) melops, was caught with a dip net in a tuft of serrated wrack, Fucus serratus, which was growing out of the sandy bottomed channel leading to the Queen Elizabeth II marina, St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain.  Many of the juvenile wrasse in this channel were parasitised by Anilocra sp. isopod crustaceans.  These isopods dig into the skin of the fish behind and above the eye on one side of the head.  This individual was returned to the QE II marina channel after photography.  Collected and photographed on the 29 September 2007.

sealord > A garfish, Belone belone, captured in Guernsey waters and bought from a local fish retailer for £1.00 on the 12 August 1995.  The fish had a total weight of 380 grams.  

Guernsey recreational fishermen refer to these fish as 'long-nose'.   This fish harbours some copepod skin parasites.  One can be seen attached to the skin just behind the gill cover and another can be seen just infront of the eye on the lower jaw.  Garfish possess pale green bones.  They can be filleted but they are usually steaked.  The steaks can be rolled in batter or breadcrumbs and fried.

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.
