Fish I'm set out to catch before I die
This is a picture of the open ocean.

Welcome to my website. I have collected eleven pictures of diffrent types of fish that I want to catch before I die. Along with the pictures of these fish I have also given a little information about the fish and their habitat.

To begin viewing, just click on the links that I have provided below and you will see the diffrent fish. I hope you enjoy my website.

Barracudas are ray-finned fishes notable for their large size. They can reach up to 6 ft or more in length and up to a foot in width.They have a fearsome appearance. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. They have the nick name ìTiger of the Seaî.
The bull shark is found in warm shallow waters along coasts. They are well-known for being unpredictable and for their aggressive behavior. A very unique characteristic of the bull shark is that they have a tolerance for freshwater and can be found traveling up rivers. This particular shark is responsible for the majority of attacks on humans that take place near the shore. The males of this species can reach 6.9 feet and weigh 200 lb The females can be much larger: 11.5 ft and 507 lbs.
The cobia can be found worldwide in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate waters. The Cobia seeks shelter in harbors and around wrecks and reefs. Cobias are often found off south Florida and the Florida Keys.
There are nine known species of hammerhead range from 6.5 to 19.5 feet. All nine species have a projection on each side of the head that give it a resemblance to a flattened hammer. The shark's eyes and nostrils are at the tips of these extensions. The hammerheads are very aggressive predators which eat fish, rays, cephalopods, and crustaceans. They are found in warmer waters along coastlines and continental shelves. Hammerheads have small mouths and seem to do a lot of bottom-hunting. They are also known to form schools during the day that sometimes grow into groups of 100 to 200.
Sailfish live in all the oceans of the world. They are blue to gray in color and have a characteristic sail on top, which often stretches the entire length of the back. Generally, sailfish do not grow to more than 10 feet in length and they rarely weigh over 200 pounds.
Tarpons are large coastal fish. They grow up to 8 feet in length and sometimes weigh up to 200 pounds.

Dolphins are one of the fastest-growing fish. They usually live no more than 5 years. They are fast swimmer; swimming speed is estimated at 50 knots. They are found offshore in warm water. The Dolphins are very easily identified by their bright greenish blue on their top fin and yellow on sides. Their body tapers sharply from their head to tail.
The marlin is a large game fish. It has an elongated body that in larger species can be in excess of 4 m long, a spear like snout, and a long rigid dorsal fin which extends forwards to form a crest. Marlins are very fast and can swim 100 m in about 4 seconds. They are popular sporting fishes in certain tropical areas and are also commercially important as a food fish.
Tunas are very fast swimmers. They have been clocked as fast at 48 mph. Unlike most fish species, which have white flesh, the flesh of tuna is pink to dark red. This pink to darkened red color is caused by the tunas muscle tissue. Their muscle tissue contains greater quantities of mysoglobin, an oxygen-binding molecule, than the muscle tissue of most other fish species. The tunas usually swimming in schools found close or in mixed in with schools of dolphin.
The red snapper stay relatively close to the bottom, and inhabit rocky bottom, ledges, ridges, and artificial reefs, including offshore oil rigs and shipwrecks. They are commonly caught up to 10 lb and 20 inches in length, however there have been fish caught weighing over 40 lb.
The Wahoo is a dark blue fish found worldwide in tropical and subtropical waters. Some have been recorded at up to 8 ft in length, and weighing up to 180 lb. Wahooís tend to be solitary or occur in loose-knit groups of two or three fish, rather than in schools. Their diet consists essentially of other fish and squid.
Amberjacks usually have dark stripes extending from nose to in front of their dorsal fins. They are usually 40 pounds or less. They are found around rocky reefs, debris, and ship wrecks. Typically amberjacks are found 20 to 75 miles off shore.
