Saltwater Fish Species (Sharks, Rays, Mackeral, Snappers, Flounder, Barracudea, Moray Eels, Tuna, Marlin, etc.)

Saltwater Species

These species are found in the oceans of the world. This website isn't really devoted to saltwater fishing. Every part of the world has unique sea-fishes, so a saltwater lifelist is no more than a travelogue of the places you have visited. But, it's the best and most awesome kind of travelogue a person could have! Thus, we track saltwater fishes separately from the freshwater ones. The ocean contains so many more and varied species that it's hardly possible to describe them, so we have only a simple saltwater species list right now. If anyone would like to volunteer to fill in the basic species information for each, feel free to contact me.
