Dizzy Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I know what this is.... it's a Dog Fish and not a baby shark like my other two tried to con me into thinking But has anyone idea what sort of fish this is? It was about a foot long if that helps Both were on a beach near Pwllheli and suggestions so far for the second one have been a Sun Fish, a Wrass, and a Sea Bream but it doesn't look like any of those when I googled. Yep it's now bugging me... as usual.. and I need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 A plaice or a flat fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt Kije Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 A foot long, that would make it a big fish then Dizzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Possibly a trigger fish? They do end up in our waters but there's not a lot of them. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fugtifino Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'd guess at a dab: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=dab+fish&hl=en&sa=G&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=T1SNHmJ8k24yWM:&imgrefurl=http://www.fishfanatics.co.uk/know-your-sealife/&docid=LA3rmO_upd6MpM&w=252&h=251&ei=eAVkTsPsM4K98gPSnfX9CQ&zoom=1&biw=1280&bih=831&iact=rc&dur=500&page=7&tbnh=152&tbnw=153&start=123&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:123&tx=95&ty=78 Edit: quick look for what Bill said, I reckon it's that one.

Cleopatra Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I would say it was a dead fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Thanks everyone (apart from you Cleopatra and Lt K ) Bill looks to be right with his 'Trigger Fish' now I've had a look That leads me to a worrying question though... if these Trigger Fish come up the Gulf Stream what else is also following them to our warmer shores EEK. Whilst looking for the fish I was told that there have been sightings of Great Whites and Killer Whales in Wales, I didn't believe it until I googled and it seems there have been EEK !!! Killer Whale at Criccieth 2010 http://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/2010/04/10/suspected-killer-whale-seen-off-gwynedd-coast-55578-26212867/ Porbeagle Shark filmed in shallow water Pembrokeshire http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/south_west/7511212.stm Possible Great White (or so the bloke says) Pembrokeshire http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1635891.ece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well unusual fish on the Welsh Shores... sharks too where they aren't expected and now we are about be be hit by the tale end of the tropical storm 'Katia' on Monday and parts of the UK are in for a battering including Wales. Something's definately going a bit odd don't you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
