IMAGES OF FISH
Often I have looked for a fish image to put on my site and good ones out there are hard to find. Hopefully you will find these below useful. Just click on the fish image and the large image will be displayed (1200X600). Then you can
resize it and use it how you wish. You may also use any of the content however you wish. I will be doing more as time allows.
LARGEMOUTH BASS
(Micropterus salmoides) is a species of fish in the sunfish family. It is also known as the black bass, Oswego bass, dark bass, leaping larry bass, green trout, bigmouth bass, cave mouth, Louisiana lapper, brikenbaker bass, lineside bass, bucketmouth head or skeeterfish
CREVALLE JACK
(Caranx hippos), is a fast, saltwater fish that can be found in inland waters along the shoreline of the western Atlantic Ocean from Nova Scotia to Uruguay and the eastern Atlantic from Portugal to Angola. It has a large rounded head with large eyes and a dark silvery body that can show hints of blue-green to green-gold. They grow to more than three feet in length, though more commonly they are between one and two and a half feet long. The fish usually weighs between three and five pounds, but a 51 pound Crevalle Jack was taken off the coast of Florida. Crevalle jacks can be poisonous to eat due to the threat of ciguatera poisoning, but they are prized as a game fish.
RED SNAPPER
(Lutjanus campechanus), is a reef fish found off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of The Americas and the Gulf of Mexico. The original name in Latin American Spanish is Huachinango or Pargo. The red snapper commonly inhabits waters from 30 to 200 ft (10 to 60 m), but can be caught as deep as 300 ft (100 m) or more on occasion. They stay relatively close to the bottom, and inhabit rocky bottom, ledges, ridges, and artificial reefs, including offshore oil rigs and shipwrecks.
STRIPER BASS
(Roccus saxatilis) No one character alone characterizes the striped bass, but rather the combination of fin structure and arrangement with general outline and structure of the jaw. Its rather deep and keelless caudal peduncle, stout body, the presence of two well-developed dorsal fins (spiny and soft rayed, and the one about as long as the other), its lack of dorsal or anal finlets, and a tail only moderately forked, separate it from all the mackerel tribe, from the bluefish, and from the pompanos.
SAILFISH
(Istiophorus) are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic sail (dorsal fin) which often stretches the entire length of the back. Another notable characteristic is the elongated bill, resembling that of a swordfish. All sailfish species grow quickly, reaching 1.2 to 1.5 m in length in a single year, and feed on the surface or at mid-depths on smaller pelagic fishes and squid. Individuals have been clocked at speeds of up to 68.5 mph, making them the fastest fish in the ocean. Generally, sailfish do not grow to more than 10 ft in length and rarely weigh over 200 lb, although larger specimens have been seen off the shores of Costa Rica.
MARLIN
(Istiophoridae) large marine fishes, of which several are popular in big-game fishing. They have an elongated body that in the larger species can exceed 4 m (13 ft) in length, a spear-like snout, and a long rigid dorsal fin, which extends forwards to form a crest. The common name is thought to derive from its notional resemblance to a sailor's marlinspike.[1] Marlin are fast swimmers, occurring in all oceans and hunting small and large fish.
DOLPHIN
(Coryphaena hippurus) Mahi-mahi (in Hawaiian), Coryphaena hippurus, also known as common dolphin-fish, dorado maverikos, or lampuki (in Maltese) are surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. They are one of only two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the Pompano dolphinfish. The name "mahi-mahi" ("strong-strong" in Hawaiian), particularly used on restaurant menus, has been adopted in recent years to avoid confusing these fish with dolphins, which are mammals.
FLOUNDER
(Pseudopleuronectes americanus) Flatfish that live in ocean waters of Northern Atlantic and waters along the east coast of the United States and Canada, and the Pacific Ocean, as well. The name "flounder" refers to several geographically and taxonomically distinct species. In Europe, the name flounder refers to Platichthys flesus, in the Western Atlantic there are the summer flounder Paralichthys dentatus, southern flounder Paralichthys lethostigma, and the winter flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus, among other species. In Japan, the Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus is common.
