Common Goby
Pomatoschistus microps
Common Goby (Pomatoschistus microps) is a small bottom-dwelling goby of shallow coastal waters, estuaries, and lagoons. It often lives buried or tucked against sand and mud, where it feeds on tiny invertebrates and is taken incidentally by anglers rather than targeted.
Common Toadfish
Tetractenos hamiltoni
Common toadfish (Tetractenos hamiltoni) is an Australasian puffer/toadfish best known for its blunt head, mottled skin, and toxic organs. It is not a valued table fish; anglers usually encounter it as a nuisance or bycatch in estuaries and sheltered coastal waters.
Diamondfish
Monodactylus argenteus
Diamondfish (Monodactylus argenteus) is a laterally compressed silver schooling fish found in coastal estuaries, mangroves, and lower freshwater reaches. It is hardy and often kept in brackish aquaria; in the wild it feeds on small invertebrates and algae.
Dusky Flathead
Platycephalus fuscus
Dusky Flathead (Platycephalus fuscus) is a large ambush predator of eastern Australian estuaries and inshore coastal waters. It lies buried in sand or mud, striking baitfish and prawns with a broad, camouflaged head and venomous dorsal spines.
Giant Mudskipper
Periophthalmodon schlosseri
Giant Mudskipper (Periophthalmodon schlosseri) is a large amphibious mudskipper of mangrove mudflats and estuaries in Southeast Asia. It spends much of its time out of water, climbing roots and burrowing in soft mud, and is not a mainstream game fish.
Great Blue-spotted Mudskipper
Boleophthalmus pectinirostris
Great Blue-spotted Mudskipper (Boleophthalmus pectinirostris) is a mudskipper of tropical Indo-West Pacific tidal flats and mangrove edges. It spends much of its time out of water on exposed mud, where it feeds and defends burrows. Angling value is limited and it is not a common target species.
Gulf Killifish
Fundulus grandis
The Gulf Killifish is a hardy estuarine forage fish common in Gulf Coast marshes and lagoons. It tolerates wide salinity swings and is an important live bait species, especially around grass edges and tidal creeks.
Longnose Killifish
Fundulus similis
Longnose Killifish (*Fundulus similis*) is a small estuarine killifish of the Gulf of Mexico and nearby Atlantic coastal plain. It lives in shallow, often weedy brackish water and is an active surface feeder, but it is not a common targeted game fish.
Northern Puffer
Sphoeroides maculatus
Northern Puffer (Sphoeroides maculatus) is a small Atlantic puffe fish of estuaries, bays, and shallow coastal waters, often seen near eelgrass and marsh edges. It is not a prime sport fish, but it can be caught on light tackle around structure and bottom cover.
Sheepshead Minnow
Cyprinodon variegatus
Sheepshead Minnow (Cyprinodon variegatus) is a small, hardy killifish of shallow coastal waters, commonly in marshes, tidal creeks, and salt ponds. It feeds on algae, detritus, tiny crustaceans, and insect larvae, and is more often used as bait or lab fish than targeted by anglers.
Shuttles Hoppfish
Periophthalmus modestus
Shuttles hoppfish (Periophthalmus modestus) is a mudskipper-like goby of East Asian mudflats and mangroves that spends much of its time out of water. It’s not a common game fish; most encounters are by hand, trap, or as bycatch in shallow intertidal habitats.
Silver Jenny
Eucinostomus gula
Silver Jenny (Eucinostomus gula) is a small mojarralike fish of warm coastal waters, often found in shallow bays and estuaries. It feeds on tiny benthic invertebrates and is more of a bycatch than a targeted game fish.
