Alewife
Alosa pseudoharengus
Alewife is a small anadromous clupeid that spends much of its life in coastal saltwater or large lakes and enters rivers to spawn. It is an important forage fish and is commonly taken incidentally by anglers rather than targeted as a sport species.
Alligator Gar
Atractosteus spatula
Alligator gar is a large, ancient ray-finned fish of slow rivers, backwaters, oxbows, and floodplain lakes in the Mississippi basin and nearby coastal drainages. It ambushes fish at the surface and can breathe air, allowing it to survive low-oxygen water.
Błyszczyk ambonski
Pomacentrus amboinensis
Błyszczyk ambonski to mała ryba z Indo-Pacyfiku z rodziny garbikowatych, ściśle związana z rozgałęzionymi koralowcami i płytkimi krawędziami raf. Jest terytorialnym wszystkożercą, który skubie glony i drobne bezkręgowce, i znacznie częściej jest obserwowany przez nurków niż poławiany przez wędkarzy.
American Eel
Anguilla rostrata
American eel (Anguilla rostrata) is a catadromous eel that spends most of its life in freshwater, brackish water, and coastal estuaries before migrating to the Sargasso Sea to spawn. It is a nocturnal, secretive predator that is often overlooked by anglers but can be very effective on bait.
American Gizzard Shad
Dorosoma cepedianum
American Gizzard Shad is a silvery clupeid forage fish common in warm, slow waters across much of eastern and central North America. It feeds by filtering plankton and detritus, and is important prey for bass, catfish, crappie, and other predators.
American Pickerel
Esox americanus
American Pickerel (Esox americanus) is a slender, ambush-predatory esocid found in vegetated fresh waters across eastern North America. It is smaller and more delicately built than northern pike or muskellunge, with a duck-bill snout and chainlike markings.
Amur Carp
Cyprinus rubrofuscus
Amur carp (Cyprinus rubrofuscus) is a cyprinid carp native to East Asia and widely introduced beyond its original range. It inhabits warm, slow waters and is an adaptable bottom-feeder that can grow large in ponds, lakes, and lowland rivers.
Amur Goby
Rhinogobius similis
Amur goby (Rhinogobius similis) is a small benthic goby associated with cool, clear running water. It is reported from freshwater streams and rivers in East Asia, but available public records can be scattered and some identifications in occurrence data may be uncertain.
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.
