This fish caught by Brent Hanley near Hanois lighthouse off Guernsey's south-west coast on 15 October 2011 will be submitted as a British angling record. It weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. and 3 drams. The fish had suffered some damage to the second dorsal fin rays during its infancy. Although the ray membrane was intact, five rays were missing. The ratio of the height of the dorsal fin lobe to the length of the pectoral fin keyed out to a Guinean or a greater amberjack, but the gill raker count was too high for these fish. Based on the gill raker count alone, this fish was identified as an Almaco jack, Seriola rivoliana. Jacks in the genus Seriola are becoming more frequent visitors to the western English Channel. The first Seriola jack captured in Bailiwick of Guernsey records, was landed by George Staples on 7 September 2000 off the east coast of Herm Island. This fish was identified, based on the gill raker count and the fin ratios as a Guinean amberjack, Seriola carpenteri, but some doubt has now been cast on the original identification, and the individual fish, which was destined for the Natural History Museum in London, can no longer be located.

This rough triggerfish, Canthidermis maculatus, was photographed at the Phuket fish market in Thailand in December 1990. This triggerfish is found worldwide in tropical seas. The flying fish fishermen of Barbados who call it 'turbot' also catch it. It is also common around Bermuda where it is called ocean turbot. The fillets are broad. They superficially resemble the fillets of the turbot of Europe and the quality of the meat is excellent. File No. 1290 31 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

This female shore rockling, Gaidropsarus mediterraneus, was under some cobbles in a gully by Quaine Rock in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on the 20 March 2007. The fish weighed 131 grams. File No. BG 200307 1-892 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
A similar image to the one before of a five-bearded rockling, Ciliata mustela, found in Belle Greve Bay on the 4 February 2007. This image shows the sensory first dorsal fin, which contains large numbers of 'tasting cells'. The rays of the first dorsal fin continually oscillate to create a water current which can be 'tasted'.
