Eastern Red Scorpionfish
Scorpaena jacksoniensis
The Eastern Red Scorpionfish is a venomous, camouflaged reef fish from eastern Australia. It sits motionless on rocky and coral-like structure, ambushing small fish and crustaceans with a large upturned mouth.
Eastern Smooth Boxfish
Anoplocapros inermis
Eastern Smooth Boxfish (Anoplocapros inermis) is a small deep-bodied boxfish from southern Australian waters. It is a benthic, uncommon species on soft or mixed bottoms; angling information is limited, so it is not considered a typical game fish.
Eastern Triangle Butterflyfish
Chaetodon baronessa
Eastern Triangle Butterflyfish (Chaetodon baronessa) is a coral-dwelling reef butterflyfish of the Indo-Pacific, not a target sport fish. It is closely tied to branching Acropora corals, where it picks small invertebrates and coral polyps from the reef.
Eclipse Butterflyfish
Chaetodon bennetti
Eclipse Butterflyfish (Chaetodon bennetti) is a reef-associated butterflyfish of the Indo-Pacific, usually seen in pairs or small groups. It feeds mostly on coral polyps and small benthic invertebrates and is not a common angling target.
Eightband Butterflyfish
Chaetodon octofasciatus
Eightband Butterflyfish (Chaetodon octofasciatus) is a reef-associated butterflyfish from the western Pacific, usually found on shallow coral reefs. It feeds mainly on coral polyps and small benthic invertebrates and is not a typical angling target.
Elegant Unicornfish
Naso elegans
Elegant Unicornfish (Naso elegans) is a reef-associated surgeonfish of the Indo-West Pacific, recognized by its long hornlike snout and blue lines on the head. It is often seen in pairs or small groups over outer reef slopes and lagoon drop-offs, browsing algae and drifting plankton.
Emerald Shiner
Notropis atherinoides
Emerald Shiner is a small, silvery North American minnow common in large lakes, reservoirs, and connected rivers. It often forms dense schools near open water and shorelines, and it is an important forage fish for many game species.
Emperor Angelfish
Pomacanthus imperator
Emperor Angelfish is a striking Indo-Pacific reef angelfish that changes dramatically from juvenile to adult. Adults patrol coral-rich reefs and lagoons, grazing on sponges, tunicates, and small benthic invertebrates.
Estuary Cobbler
Cnidoglanis macrocephalus
Estuary Cobbler (Cnidoglanis macrocephalus) is a large Australian sea catfish of estuaries, coastal lakes, and lower rivers. It is mostly nocturnal and bottom-oriented, taking crustaceans and small fish with venomous dorsal and pectoral spines.
European Bitterling
Rhodeus amarus
The European Bitterling is a small cyprinid native to slow lowland fresh waters across much of Europe and western Asia. It is best known for spawning in live freshwater mussels, where females lay eggs inside the gills.
European Bullhead
Cottus gobio
The European bullhead is a small, bottom-dwelling freshwater sculpin of clear, cool streams and rivers across much of Europe. It hides among stones and feeds on aquatic insect larvae and other tiny benthic prey.
European Carp
Cyprinus carpio
European Carp is a large freshwater cyprinid widely introduced worldwide and common in slow rivers, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. It feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates, seeds, detritus, and plant matter, and is a popular angling fish in many regions.
