--part1_e1ffa.2381069f.435967e0_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit 25 to 35 years ago there were lots of hake in St Margaret Bay. I could catch any number by the bell buoy at the mouth of the cove. If I was too lazy to fish the fishermen would sell the ones from the mackerel traps for a quarter. In recent years they have disappeared. Peter Stow Hubbards In a message dated 2015-10-21 4:53:42 P.M.

I came across this fish washed up, dead, in the surf. http://imgur.com/a/CXMPU My car keys are about 9.5cm in total length, the fish was a decent size. I didn't have my fish books with me, but I keyed it out with a Gulf of Maine Fishes key I found online (sub key linked) and landed on White Hake. Can anyone confirm an ID, positive or otherwise? On a side note, are there any freely accessible online keys for our region? http://www.gma.org/fogm/cod_silver-hake.htm#Cod_key While I was looking to confirm the ID, I found _this map_ (http://www.registrelep-sararegistry.gc.ca/virtual_sara/files/cosewic/sr_White%20Hake_2013_e.p df) that showed dragger catches of white hake from 1968 to 2014 and it looks like the fish is certainly within range (or should be if the study area stuck out a bit further north). I hadn't seen these maps before today, but they're really cool. Interesting to see the ranges change over time. The link to maps for all the fish included is provided below. http://nefsc.noaa.gov/ecosys/spatial-analyses/ Thanks, Ian --part1_e1ffa.2381069f.435967e0_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3DUS-ASCII" http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META name=3DGENERATOR content=3D"MSHTML 11.00.10240.16542"></HEAD> <BODY id=3Drole_body style=3D"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR:= #000000"=20 bottomMargin=3D7 leftMargin=3D7 topMargin=3D7 rightMargin=3D7><FONT id=3Dr= ole_document=20 color=3D#000000 size=3D2 face=3DArial> <DIV>25 to 35 years ago there were lots of hake in St Margaret Bay.
