NESA Species Hunt 2013

[Stewart 1971]

Table updated lads.

Wee Ver they look like two long spined sea scorpions to me but I am happy to be corrected if anyone else can comment.

Here are two more for me both caught on Weymouth Pier which puts me top of the table ....

Well done Mike, Weymouth pier is a cracking venue for species hunting. I'm surprised you haven't had a lot more "mini" species to be honest, is the weather as cack down there as it is up home at the moment?

As for the Bullheads, agree they are both Long Spined. I've had a few and have been desperate to try to id one as a Short Spined but no joy so far...

Some 1 hav a look at my coley is it actually a coley?

[lumpsucker]

What makes you think it isnt a coley?

[Wee Ver]

Think it may b a pollock Some 1 told me a good way to tell a coley from a pollock is coley tail has a v in end and Pollocks is flat n tha looks flat to me

Looks different to this 1

Curved or straight lateral line is a dead giveaway

martin i said the 3 ways to tell are, pertruding bottom jaw, lateral line and the prodominent v in the tail,

laterel line is the clear feature tho
