Christmas Wrasse
Thalassoma trilobatum
Christmas wrasse is a colorful Indo-Pacific reef fish that lives close to coral and rocky bottoms. It is an active day-feeder that picks small invertebrates from the reef, and it is not a major target for most anglers.
Chum Salmon
Oncorhynchus keta
Chum Salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) are an anadromous Pacific salmon that spend most of their lives in the ocean and return to coastal rivers to spawn. They are best known for their tall spawning jaws and bold banding, and they are a key species in North Pacific fisheries.
Chum Salmon
Oncorhynchus keta
Chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) are a widespread Pacific salmon that spend most of their lives in the ocean and return to natal rivers to spawn. Adults are best known for their dark spawning colors and, in males, the pronounced kype and canine-like teeth that develop in freshwater.
Cigar Wrasse
Cheilio inermis
A slender Indo-Pacific wrasse with a cigar-shaped body and a pointed snout, often seen cruising shallow reefs and seagrass beds. It is not a common target for anglers and is better treated as a reef fish to observe than to pursue.
Clark's Anemonefish
Amphiprion clarkii
Clark's anemonefish is a hardy tropical reef clownfish found with sea anemones across the Indo-Pacific. It is one of the most adaptable anemonefishes, living in shallow lagoon and outer-reef habitats and defending a host anemone aggressively.
Climbing Perch
Anabas testudineus
Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus) is a hardy air-breathing fish of ponds, ditches, floodplains, and rice fields across South and Southeast Asia. It can survive low oxygen and short overland movements in damp conditions, making it a resilient invasive in some regions.
Climbing Perch
Anabas testudineus
Climbing perch is a hardy labyrinth fish native to South and Southeast Asia, now widely introduced and established in many warm waters. It tolerates low oxygen by breathing air and often occupies shallow, stagnant habitats with dense cover.
Clown Coris
Coris aygula
Clown Coris is a reef-associated wrasse from Indo-Pacific tropical waters. Adults are vivid blue-green with orange to red markings, and juveniles look very different, which can make field ID tricky.
Clown Triggerfish
Balistoides conspicillum
The clown triggerfish is a boldly patterned Indo-Pacific reef fish with a strong, beaklike jaw and an aggressive temperament when defended or cornered. It is not a standard food or sport target everywhere, and local rules or reef-protection concerns can limit keeping or harvest.
Coastal Cutthroat Trout
Oncorhynchus clarkii
Coastal cutthroat trout are anadromous or resident trout native to the Pacific Coast drainages of western North America. They use small coastal streams, estuaries, tidewater reaches, and nearshore marine waters, and often move with seasons and runoff.
Cobia
Rachycentron canadum
Cobia is a fast-growing, warm-water pelagic fish found in coastal seas, often around reefs, wrecks, buoys, and channel markers. It is prized by anglers for powerful runs and strong table quality, but it can carry ciguatera risk in some tropical waters.
Coho Salmon
Oncorhynchus kisutch
Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) are an anadromous salmon of the North Pacific, spending most of life in the ocean before returning to freshwater to spawn. Juveniles use streams and lakes; adults are prized game fish for their aggressive strikes and acrobatics.
