Bream notes http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fisheries/recreational/saltwater/sw-species/yellowfin-bream Yellowfin bream Distribution - Yellowfin bream are found along the NSW coast, as well as in Queensland and Victoria. Bream inhabit estuaries up to the brackish water limit (the change from salt to freshwater) and inshore rocky reef habitats near ocean beaches and rocky headlands Size - Maximum weight of 4kg and a length of 60 cm. Characteristics - Yellowfin bream have a silver to olive-green body with yellowish pectoral, ventral and anal fins. They are opportunistic feeders with their diet including small crabs, prawns, molluscs, pipis and small fish. Confusing species - Black bream (Acanthopagrus butcheri) are found in NSW waters up to the Myall Lakes though are more common in Victoria and the south of the state. Yellowfin bream have a deeper body and a higher snout than black bream and have yellow ventral fins. Tarwhine have rounded, convex heads and a gold spot on each scale giving the fish a series of longitudinal bands. Tarwhine are found along the coast of New South Wales.
At New Melones Reservoir, despite the continuing snow melt, the water level dropped another foot last week. The water clarity is good and the temperature is slowly coming up, now averaging 76 to 81-degrees. Trout are showing signs of schooling over deep water and feeding on shad minnows. Trollers have been finding trout at 40 to 60 feet with Speedy Shiners, Needlefish, and ExCel lures. Night fishermen have been doing well by anchoring over fairly deep water and lowering their light to about 20 feet. This attracts plankton, which in turn, attracts shad, which will attract larger fish. Live minnows and nightcrawlers are choice baits. The kokanee numbers may be down, but the quality is good with some going 15 to 18 inches. Bladed lures may work well in deeper water as they create vibration which will attract fish. Scented corn on each hook is important. Big trout winner at Glory Hole Sports was, again, Bob James, of Murphys, with a 2-pound rainbow caught at 55 feet in the main lake. Big catfish winner was John Tennant, of Twain Harte, with an 11-pound, 15-ounce fish caught with sardine bait in the main lake. Bass fishing is good for those who specialize in that type of fishing. Hayden Lee, of Angels Camp, recently caught a 10 pound Largemouth Bass on a topwater lure and he had no net in the boat. He and a friend were able to boat the fish for photos before release.
Roanoke Logperch are all very similar in size and color . Most of these fish at the bottom are a cream color that fades to a green-yellow color as you go up , they also have dark markings on their bottom half . Since all of these fish look very similar it is hard to tell the genders apart from one another . Therefore there is one distinctive way to tell and that is that the males have a more vivid orange ring around their first dorsal fin .The top jaw is longer than the bottom so that the fish has more strength to push rocks and sand over . They also can get up to 16.5 centimeters but they usually stay in between 5-7 centimeters . These fish also have bilateral symmetry as in one side is similar to the opposite side .
The golden trout’s skin is a gradient, ranging from deep blue to turquoise to gray on its top to shimmering gold on its bottom. The two colors blend on the middle of the fish's side, a flawless inter-melting of two vibrant hues. A bright red band streaks across its middle, blood red, and bright. Around 10 dark
Identifying Features- Typically 4 to 6 feet, and 660 to 1,100 pounds. Skin is primarily black, with varying pale spots and a pinkish-white underbelly. Lacks a hard shell but instead has a carapace composed of tough, rubbery skin and thousands of tiny bone plates Its carapace is large, elongated and flexible with 7 distinct ridges running the length of the animal. Front flippers lack claws or scales and back flippers are paddle-shaped.
Description – Anguilla and rostrata are both Latin, meaning "eel" and "beaked," respectively. The latter is probably a reference to the fish's snout. The American eel has a slender snakelike body with very small scales, and the fish may appear naked. A long dorsal fin usually extends for more than half the length of the body and is continuous with a similar ventral fin. Pelvic fins are absent. The back may be olive-green to brown shading to greenish-yellow on the sides and light gray or white on the belly.
They will be seen in quiet waters that feature mud at the bottom. They will also be found near the Cumberland Valley in Pennsylvania and Maryland. They could rarely be found in Tennessee and Kentucky. They could be found in rivers that feature mud at the bottom because they could hibernate there.
This means that they can regulate their body temperature and survive in almost any temperature of water. They live mostly in cold waters such as Newfoundland and Iceland. They spawn once a year in the warm shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. The aggressive predator eats other bony fish and invertebrates as adults, and smaller fish such as Zooplankton while they are young. Since they are high on the food chain, they are only eaten by toothed whales, ocean sharks, and the biggest billfishes. The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna travel to warmer waters to procreate once a year. According to panda.org, female tuna can produce up to 10 million eggs per year, but only a few survive. The average lifespan of the tuna is 15 years, unless they fall victim to
As the weather gets cooler, some of the more seasonal species found from November through April, include Dorado, bigeye tuna, yellowfin

Betta splendens, otherwise known as the Siamese fighting fish, is widely recognized as an aggressive species of fish, as its common name indicates. B. splendens, which is native to Southeast Asia, has an appearance consisting of a wide array of colors, ranging from varying shades of red, yellow, green, and blue. In addition, female Siamese fighting fish generally have duller body colors in comparison to males. Also, the scales of B. splendens seem to shine with different colors as the angle of view changes. It is due to the hostile nature and the brilliant features of the Siamese fighting fish that it was given the name of Betta splendens, as it translates to “splendid battler”. As a result of the rainbow-like appearance,
Now here comes the best part...how we look! We have a narrow head and a sharp beak with a brown face. Our carapace is amber colored and has spots of red black, yellow, and brown. Our plaston is mostly amber colored. We have dark flippers. Wow! I’ve talked so much about us that we’ve made it to the jellies already.
One may claim that the color variation is a result of turbulence. Since turbulence is higher, (27.50-36.25 NTU) in pool one where there are many drab fish, 41, than in pool four (3.00-8.75 NTU) where there are few drab fish, 5. Unfortunately, pools three and four have the same turbidity (3.00-8.75 NTU), but different amounts of drab male fish, ten in pool three and five in pool four; demonstrating that turbidity is probably not a relevant variable, since variation of color can occur without variation in turbulence.
The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) belong in the Salmonidae family which is native to North America but have been introduced to all continents apart from Antarctica. Its upper body is dark greeny blue, the sides are a lighter shade of olive green and blue and underneath their stomach is silvery-white. Their head and body are speckled and pink, red, or orange patches can appear along the rainbow trout’s head and/or flanks. Rainbow trout live in freshwater creeks, rivers, lakes, and dams. However, in the northern hemisphere some rainbow trout have been known to migrate between fresh and salt water for breeding. This is not the case in Australia though, as most are restricted to fresh water. Rainbow trout prefer cool waters of 10-22
Generally, the Pencilled Surgeonfish comes with a grey, yellow and ash body design. The mix of these colors makes it quite attractive to anyone that appreciates the offerings of nature. Also, this fish can take on a more domineering role as it gets acquainted with the tank. It is important to mention that this fish is not threatened in its population size based on recent findings. It has continued to be in rich supply in various regions of the world where it is found. When you find the Pencilled Surgeonfish in its natural habitat, it is a star that makes the difference in its
“Largemouth bass grow 4 to 6 inches during their first year, 8 to 12 inches in to years, 16 inches in three years” According to so and so largemouth can grow up to 4 to 6 inches (Jennings). They are green with dark spots that look like black stripes along both sides. The belly is a light greenish color, sometimes it could be white. The coloration of the fish depends on where it is living at the time if it is under heavy vegetation the fish will have a darker green color, if the fish is out in the open it will be a whiter green color. They have what looks to be a dorsal fin on the arch of their back. Their upper jaw sticks out much farther than their eyes do. “Fry, which are what the baby bass are called feed mainly insects or worms”(Citation). Larger fish prey upon smaller
