South Carolina's guide to saltwater fishes

Abstract

This identification guide provides a quick reference for marine fish that are most often encountered by South Carolina sport fishermen. To facilitate identification, species are grouped by family so that similar-looking fish will be found in close proximity to one another. Anglers can identify a fish by matching it to the color drawings provided in the identification sheets. Each species' page includes information on the common size range and their approximate maximum total length in inches.
