Spined loach (Cobitis taenia)


Gudgeon (Gobio gobio)


Stone loach (Noemacheilus barbatulus)

Not so much a fish on a stamp as a fish cancel.

He is on a prawn trawler and threw a baited line over board.

By the time he got this yellow fin tuna on board his arms were 18ins longer.

This is what we catch from our water front in numbers. Granted this is one of the bigger ones.

We call them a Morton Bay Snapper. The more common Snapper that are found on the off shore reefs have a large bump on their heads unlike this one.

KGV Collector - Nice catch.
