Need to identify this fish. Had caught it behind the Ajman fish market.

Looks like baby threadfin. Bobby or Mighty Marlin would be able to provide better identification.

Most certainly Not a Threadfin, the head looks similar though.

I have been looking up my books trying to ID this one unsuccessfully so far. I think I have seen this fish along with Mandli etc and may be related. However never tried to ID it, I will need some more time. Perhaps some one will come up with a vernacular name and we can make progress from there.

Will be a tough one :-)

Definatly not a threadfin. My money would be on them being juvinile doublespotted queenfish, (Scomberoides, lysan).

Hi Guys,

Those are needle scaled queen fish. We catch a lot of them. They have a very bad sting on the dorsal spine. Watch out!
