Eyestripe Surgeonfish
Acanthurus dussumieri
Eyestripe Surgeonfish is a reef-dwelling surgeonfish of the Indo-Pacific, known for its fine yellow eye-stripe and grazing lifestyle. It is not a common sport target, but it can be taken incidentally on light tackle around coral and rubble reefs.
Eyetail Bowfin
Amia ocellicauda
Eyetail Bowfin is a rare, little-known bowfin described from the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence region and often confused with the Common Bowfin. It is an elongated, air-breathing freshwater fish with an eye-like spot on the tail base.
Fallfish
Semotilus corporalis
Fallfish (Semotilus corporalis) is a large North American minnow often mistaken for a chub. It’s a schooling river fish that readily takes natural baits and small lures, especially in cool, flowing water.
False Kelpfish
Sebastiscus marmoratus
False kelpfish (Sebastiscus marmoratus) is a rockfish in the scorpionfish family, not a true kelpfish. It lives on rocky reefs and kelp forests in the northwest Pacific and is often cryptically colored with banding and mottling.
Fanbelly Leatherjacket
Monacanthus chinensis
Fanbelly Leatherjacket (Monacanthus chinensis) is a small, laterally compressed filefish of tropical Indo-Pacific waters, often found around reefs, rubble, and seagrass. It is not a major gamefish, but it can be caught incidentally with light tackle and small baits.
Fantail Darter
Etheostoma flabellare
Fantail Darter is a small North American freshwater darter that lives on clean, flowing streams and rivers with gravel, rubble, or cobble bottoms. Males develop a fan-shaped tail and guard eggs under rocks.
Fathead Minnow
Pimephales promelas
Fathead Minnow (*Pimephales promelas*) is a small North American minnow now widely introduced and often abundant in ponds, ditches, and slow waters. It tolerates low oxygen, warm water, and poor conditions better than many baitfish, which helps it thrive globally in stocked and disturbed habitats.
Finescale Triggerfish
Balistes polylepis
The finescale triggerfish (Balistes polylepis) is a coastal reef-associated triggerfish of the eastern Pacific. It is a powerful, armored predator that feeds on hard-shelled invertebrates and is more often encountered by divers than targeted anglers.
Fire Dartfish
Nemateleotris magnifica
Fire Dartfish (Nemateleotris magnifica) is a small Indo-Pacific reef fish known for hovering above rubble and bolt-hole retreats. It is primarily an aquarium species and is not a standard food or game fish.
Five-spotted Wrasse
Symphodus roissali
Five-spotted Wrasse (Symphodus roissali) is a small eastern Atlantic–Mediterranean wrasse that lives in shallow coastal reefs and seagrass. Males can show vivid breeding colors and spotted patterning; it is generally more of a view species than a target fish.
Fiveline Cardinalfish
Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus
The Fiveline Cardinalfish is a small nocturnal reef fish from the Indo-Pacific, commonly sheltering in caves and coral branches by day and foraging at night. It is not a major angling target and is best treated as a reef-associated species of interest to divers and aquarium observers.
Flagtail Grouper
Cephalopholis urodeta
Flagtail Grouper (Cephalopholis urodeta) is a small reef grouper of the Indo-Pacific, usually found on coral-rich drop-offs and lagoon reefs. It is an ambush predator that feeds mainly on small fishes and crustaceans and is occasionally taken by line anglers.
