I'm looking for a comprehensive (and hopefully easy to cut and paste) list of UK shore fish species for a club web site - anyone got one?

 

[Flathead]

Do you mean just a list of UK shore fish species or one with records?

I don't need the records just a list of the fish. I want to create a spreadsheet

Have a look at the Specimen list thread in the SE forum. All of the ones listed have been caught from the UK at some time.

Why not just g to the NFSA website, go to the records pages and cut and paste species names into you spreadsheet. You then have a list of all species caught in british waters, you don't have to take the weights as well, just cut them out.
