Species Overview

Common Carp

The common carp is one of the most widely introduced freshwater fish globally. Originally domesticated in East Asia over 2,000 years ago, it is a sacred fish in many cultures and the primary target species in European coarse fishing.

Common Snook

The common snook is a prized inshore game fish found in tropical western Atlantic waters. It is highly sensitive to cold water and cannot survive temperatures below 12 degrees Celsius. Its lateral line is distinctive — a bold black stripe.
