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

Common Bream
Abramis brama
Common Bream (Abramis brama) is a deep-bodied cyprinid of slow rivers, canals, lakes, and reservoirs with soft bottoms and abundant plant growth. It feeds mostly near the bottom on invertebrates and detritus, and larger fish can become more plankton- and benthic-feeding.
Common Dolphinfish
Coryphaena hippurus
Common dolphinfish is a fast-growing, highly migratory pelagic fish found in warm oceans worldwide. It is a prized game fish and table fish, commonly encountered around floating structure, weed lines, and current edges.
