This fish was caught in Sarasota Bay. This is located on the Gulf of Mexico
south of Tampa Florida. The picture appeared in the newspaper this morning and it does not look like a fish that is found here. Several years ago, I saw one similar caught a little further south. At that time nobody in the area knew what it was. There is nothing like in the various local guide books. The most unusual characteristic is the lips. http://home.comcast.net/~cbress/fish.bmp We get all sorts of stragglers here of all kinds: fish, fowl, reptile, insect and human. Charlie |

Gerres erythrourus
Unfortunbately it is a fish native to Japam, Okinawa. How it could end up in Florida is beyond me. Here is a photo of a juvenile. Note the lip structure. http://fishpix.kahaku.go.jp/fishimag...PHOTO_ID_OPT=2 |

Possibly someone removed them from an aquarium. We end up with a popuation of non-native species of wildlife. Thank you, Charlie |

I've never seen this fish before in the fish markets in Japan, and if it is native to Okinawa that is tropical waters (like Florida). But, since it grows to about 10 inches length and is clearly Tai-related (a member of the sea breams, sea perches) it would clearly be a candidate for sushi/sashimi. I don't know to what extent it may be utilized as a food fish down in Okinawa and the islands in the area. M |

That looks like a fish I see alot along coastal Florida. It's common name
is "Porgy" and tier's several different kinds. This is one of the most common, perhaps even the most common. http://images.google.com/images?q=po...=Search+Images http://FloridaFishingInformation.com http://FloridaPhotoGallery.com "Musashi" wrote in message m...

Maybe not.
The fish in the original post as well as the one in the answer from Japan have horizontal marking on the side. All the varieties of porgy that I could find show vertical markings. Also the mystery fish has prominent lips, almost like a sucker. None of the porgies shown in Vic Dunaway's "Sport Fish of Florida" have lips like this. Charlie "Texx Smith" wrote in message ...
