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.
European Chub
Squalius cephalus
European chub (Squalius cephalus) is a robust cyprinid of slow to moderate rivers, canals, and stillwaters across much of Europe. It is an opportunistic feeder that can be caught on natural baits and small surface lures, especially in warm weather.
European Conger
Conger conger
European conger (Conger conger) is a large, nocturnal marine eel of the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It hides in rocky reefs, wrecks, and burrows by day, then hunts fish and crustaceans at night.
European Eel
Anguilla anguilla
European Eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a catadromous eel that grows in fresh, brackish, and coastal waters across Europe and nearby regions, then migrates to the Sargasso Sea to spawn. It is an elusive, mostly nocturnal predator that has declined sharply and is heavily regulated in many places.
European Flounder
Platichthys flesus
European flounder is a right-eyed flatfish common in estuaries, bays, and shallow coastal waters, with some populations entering brackish and lower freshwater reaches. It lies camouflaged on the bottom and feeds on worms, crustaceans, and small fish.
European Grayling
Thymallus thymallus
European Grayling (Thymallus thymallus) is a cold-water salmonid of clear, oxygen-rich rivers and streams, prized for its tall sail-like dorsal fin. It feeds on aquatic and terrestrial insects and can be selective, especially in bright low-water conditions.
European Minnow
Phoxinus phoxinus
The European Minnow is a small, schooling cyprinid of cool, clear streams, rivers, lakes, and upland pools across much of Europe. It feeds on tiny invertebrates, algae, and detritus, and is often used as livebait where legal, though it is rarely a targeted game fish.
