Identification
With this hybrid, the dorsal fin is large and located behind the pelvic fins. The anal fin has 9-13 branched rays and there are 39-46 scales along the lateral line. The body is “Roach-like” in appearance, with darker fins and normally a gold-bronze hue running through the upper reaches of the flanks. For accurate identification if you wish to claim a specimen or record, carefully removed 2-3 scales and submit them to The Irish Specimen Fish Committee, along with clear photographs of the head, mouth and fins.
