Bonefish
Albula vulpes

Permit

Rød snapper
Lutjanus campechanus

Abbott's murene
Gymnothorax eurostus
Abbott's murene er en rev-assosiert murene kjent fra tropiske indo-pasifiske farvann, men artsspesifikk naturhistorie er ikke like godt dokumentert som for vanligere revfisk. Den gjemmer seg i sprekker om dagen og kommer fram om natten for å jakte på fisk og krepsdyr.
Acapulco Major
Stegastes acapulcoensis
Acapulco major er en sjøkjeks funnet på korall- og steinrev i det østlige Stillehavet, spesielt rundt Mexico og nærliggende offshoreøyer. Den er territorisk og beiter typisk på alger nær lyet sitt, så den er ikke et hovedmål for fiskere.
Ambon-damsel
Pomacentrus amboinensis
Ambon-damsel er en liten Indo-Stillehavet damselfisk som er nært knyttet til forgrenede koraller og grunne revkanter. Det er et territorielt alteter som pirker på alger og små virvelløse dyr, og den sees langt oftere av dykkere enn den jaktes på av sportsfiskere.
Annular Seabream
Diplodus annularis
Annular seabream is a small sparid of coastal Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic waters, usually found over sandy and mixed bottoms near seagrass, reefs, and harbors. It feeds on small benthic invertebrates and is an occasional bycatch rather than a primary target.
Arabian Picasso Triggerfish
Rhinecanthus assasi
A venomous reef triggerfish of the western Indian Ocean, usually seen near coral and rocky reefs in shallow coastal waters. It has the triggerfish body plan and is mainly a benthic feeder that picks at hard-shelled invertebrates and other reef prey.
Arc-eye Hawkfish
Paracirrhites arcatus
A small Indo-Pacific coral-reef hawkfish that sits on exposed perches and darts at passing prey. It is not a target sport fish, but it is a familiar reef species in shallow lagoon and fore-reef habitats.
Atlantic Blue Tang
Acanthurus coeruleus
Atlantic blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus) is a bright blue surgeonfish of Atlantic reefs and seagrass edges, most vivid as juveniles and adults in shallow clear water. It grazes mostly on algae and is a common reef species, though details of local abundance vary by area.
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna
Thunnus thynnus
Atlantic Bluefin Tuna er en vanlig fiskeart som ofte finnes i egnede vann og strukturrike områder for arten. Guiden oppsummerer kjennetegn, leveområde og fisketips.
Atlantic Cod
Gadus morhua
Atlantic cod is a cold-water groundfish of the North Atlantic, historically one of the most important commercial species. It lives near bottom over shelves, banks, and reefs, and forms large schools, especially where prey is abundant.
