NESA Species Hunt 2013

Well they all have diffrent names coz there diffrent types what's the diffrence between urs like one has longer spines then the other does that not have anything to do with the age ov the fish like?like if u catch a cod and a coddling u ain't got two species just diffrent size and age ov fish surely?

Short spined sea scorpion = Myoxocephalus scorpius
Long spined sea scorpion =
Taurulus bubalis

So different species, if you look back in one of the species threads there was a diagram to help you distinguish between the two.

Are you questioning any one else's fish or just mine ??

Hopefully that there are two species lol

I found the diagram and inserted it above. If you would like me to do one for cod and poor cod just ask or fire it into google.
 
A don't named to question anyone else fish mate ur the only one with two ov the same fish on table whys so offended by this like?

Am not offended at all John, I was just trying to help. The question was asked incase you had trouble in distinguishing any other species.
 
Just copied this from wiki

The poor cod, Trisopterus minutus, is a temperate marine fish belonging to the cod family (Gadidae). It is red brown in color and has a pronounced chin barbel. It may grow up to a length of 40cm. It is usually found in small shoals at depths between 10 and 300 meters on muddy or sandy bottoms. Its distribution spans the eastern Atlantic; from Norwegian coasts to Portugal and along the Atlantic coast of Morocco; also in the Mediterranean. Spawning takes place towards the end of winter.

It feeds on crustaceans and small fishes. They are eaten by seals, whales and dolphins. It is commercially harvested for the production of fish meal, and in southern Europe as food.

Cod is the common name for the genus Gadus of demersal fishes, belonging to the family Gadidae. Cod is also used as part of the common name for a number of other fishes, and there are species suggested to belong to genus Gadus that are not called cod (the Alaska pollock).

The two most important species of cod are the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), which lives in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the North Atlantic, and the Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), found in both eastern and western regions of the northern Pacific. Gadus morhua was named by Linnaeus in 1758. (However, G. morhua callarias, a low salinity, non-migratory race restricted to parts of the Baltic, was originally described as Gadus callarias by Linnaeus.)

Just with u saying am a just questioning ur fish and nobody else's!the reason for that is ur the only one with the same named fish al not say same spieces as u have proven otherwise.a was just asking the question that's all as am not 100% on the difference between them.

Here to help if I can John. The problems come when you get into mini species Ie gobys, ill post a link in lure fishing on these and ask for it to be a sticky if that helps
 
Na what it is av got loads ov jelly worms in me box but never use them.just never think al catch on them a tried one the other week after seeing one ov ur posts but al a got was a crab.whats the best to use?like size,colour ect?

The size , colour and type is so vast John it all depends on what species your targeting. Lots of guys have had success in fishing lures on bait rigs/rods not strictly lure fishing IMO (opened myself up for bombardment lol) but will be lure caught.
If your sticking with your bait set up my opinion would be to try isome & milf
 
John, just to confirm. Although they are both Sea Scorpions they are different species of Sea Scorpion. The Long Spined/Short Spined bit of the name can be misleading as there's not a lot in it. The best way to tell them apart in a photograph is to show the gill membrane underneath so bear this in mind if you catch one and taking a picture of it's underside will make it easier to identify. The other way to tell is size - if it's a biggun it's a short spined as the long spined one only grows to 18cm. Hope this helps.

We had similar problems last year with the different blennies (including eelpout which is not actually a blenny at all but is sometimes called a viviparous blenny which can add to the confusion) and with rocklings. When put to the vote the majority wanted all rocklings to count as only one since it was difficult to identify the type from some of the photographs. I caught three species of rockling last year but only ended up with one point :) This year we are doing it properly one point per species so if anyone get's all three they will get three points. Same goes for other fish types.
 
Yeah no probz .could u change me roklin to a 3b roklin thunder pants.hope a havnt had any other roklin coz av been throwing them all back as a thought there was just one type:(
