Chinese Demoiselle
Neopomacentrus bankieri
Chinese demoiselle is a small damselfish from Indo-Pacific coral reefs and lagoons. It is most often seen in sheltered shallow reef areas, where it schools above coral and rubble and feeds on plankton and tiny drifting invertebrates.
Chinese Sleeper
Perccottus glenii
Chinese sleeper (Perccottus glenii) is a small, hardy goby-like freshwater fish native to East Asia and widely introduced elsewhere. It favors still or slow waters and is often associated with dense aquatic vegetation and soft bottoms.

Chinook Salmon
Oncorhynchus tshawytscha
Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) is the largest Pacific salmon, anadromous and prized for its strong runs and table quality. It spawns in cool freshwater rivers and streams, then juveniles migrate to the ocean before returning to natal waters to reproduce.
Chocolate Grouper
Cephalopholis boenak
The chocolate grouper is a Indo-Pacific reef grouper that lives on coral and rocky reefs, often near drop-offs and ledges. It is a compact ambush predator that takes small fish and crustaceans and is usually caught incidentally rather than targeted in most areas.

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.
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.
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.
