Global Fish Species (Tench, Barbel, Mahseer, Arapaima, Barramundi, Pacu, Roach, Rudd, Bream, etc.)

Global Species

These species are found outside North America. This website isn't really built for the worldwide audience - it's meant to encourage anglers to appreciate the wonderful under-appreciated fishes they have in their area. You shouldn't have to fly to some far-away land to catch an interesting fish! But folks who do fish on other continents of course like to keep track of the species they catch there. So here they are, for your lifelisting enjoyment!367 species
