Winter flounder
Winter flounder (pseudopleuronectes americanus) is a right-eyed flatfish native to North Atlantic coast. It can be found from Labrador (Canada) to Georgia (US) but it is less common in the south of Delaware Bay. This species is the most common near-shore flounder you can find from Newfoundland down through Massachusetts. Its maximum weight is around 2,25 kg and it can reach around 61 cm length but larger species are found on Georges Bank where their body can reach 70 cm and 3,6 kg.

The Spanish Mackerel belongs to the Scombridae family. It has an average length of 50 to 80 cm for 3.2 kg. The maximum length recorded is 120 cm. Its maximum lifespan is about 20 years. They spawn from April to September. It is fished from March to September. Spanish mackerel has the contours of slender mackerel rather than bonito, its body being nearly 4½ at 5 times longer than depth. its two dorsal fins (like those of bonitoes) are barely separated, and secondly, because of its colorful pattern, its high slender dorsal shape and spotted sides distinguish it at first sight from our bonitoes, while its thin shape, long first dorsal fin and second dorsal fin contour distinguish it from the small tuna. Spanish mackerel is dark blue-green or blue-green above, pale below, like all Scombridae, and silvery, with many small oblong oval, dull orange or yellowish spots on its sides above the lateral line and below, which are highly diagnostic in nature. The fact that the membrane of the front third of its first dorsal fin is black, while its back part is greenish white, is also useful. The second dorsal and pectoral fins are pale yellowish with dark margins; the anal and ventral fins are white.

The Black Grouper belongs to the Serranidae family. The black grouper is a large marine fish that can reach lengths of up to 150 cm and weigh 100 kg. The black grouper has a lifespan of about 40 years. Fish spawn between May and August. The black grouper fishing season is open from June to December. The black grouper is a large, marine fish with a prominent lower jaw. It has an oblong body shape and rounded edges on the dorsal and anal fins. The caudal fin is square and the dorsal fin has 11 spines and 15-17 rays. The preopercule is rounded without a notch, which distinguishes it from the gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis). The black grouper has an olive or grey body color, dark rectangular spots and small hexagonal bronze spots on the head and underside. The edges of the dorsal, anal and caudal fin are black or bluish; there is sometimes an orange border along the pectoral fins. The front teeth of the black grouper are well developed canines. Groupers have several sets of strong, thin teeth that play the role of a rasp. These teeth are not used to tear the flesh like barracudas and sharks, but rather to prevent small fish from escaping.

The Shortfin Mako belongs to the Lamnidae family. The average adult height is about 200-215 cm for men and 275-290 cm for women. The maximum size of a shortfin mako is about 400 cm in total length. The birth size is 60-70 cm in total length. The Shortfin Mako are estimated to live about 29 to 32 years. It is thought to breed in late summer or early fall. It is caught in summer. The Shortfin Mako body is conical-cylindrical and clearly hydrodynamic. The muzzle is pointed with large black eyes. The caudal keel is prominent and the caudal fin is lunar. The tail has a high height/width ratio (height/length ratio), which produces maximum thrust with minimal drag and provides almost all the propulsion of the shark. The mouth is clearly U-shaped. The color is a deep metallic blue on the back and ventrally white. The transition line between blue and white on the body is distinct. The area around the mouth and the underside of the snout are white. This last point is important because it differentiates shortfin from longfin mako, which has a dark pigmented region around the mouth. Color is related to body size. Larger specimens are darker and dark pigmentation often extends to generally white parts of the body in smaller specimens. The juvenile mako has a distinct black spot on the tip of the snout.
