Here are the responses: "I think it could be a* tres cool* northern striped gurnard (*P. evolans*).= .. But Jamie=E2=80=99s a pessimist and is disagreeing with me on that, citing = the quality of the pictures. That having been said, he deals with fish ID about 10,000 times a year to my once (now twice, thanks to this email!), so I would take his word over mine any day." "Hi Randy! Really difficult to say. It definitely has potential to be a Sea Robin and Irene may be correct with *P. evolans*. But it would be very difficult to get a confirmed ID on this. It also has some characteristics of flying gurnard (Family Dactylopteridae) but they are less common. Difficult to see if the pectorals are spread fully. Is this pic taken of the fish swimming at the surface? Pretty cool to see." Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS.
