- * = I'm still not 100% on the identification of this sandeel.
- ** = Obviously this is not strictly speaking a fish but it was caught on rod and line.
- *** = This species was only first recorded in 2014 and doesn't seem to have a common name in any language. I emailed the marine biologist who first recorded the species and he has suggested a common name of Threespot Wrasse.
- **** = I'm not 100% on these mojarra species and should have taken more photos when I caught them in Florida. If you can help please get in touch!
