While fishing for carp recently, the Tackle Editor for the Angling Times reeled in a “Frankenfish.”
Mark Sawyer was fishing in Magpie Lake in Cambridge, U.K., when he caught what some are saying has the features of at least three different fish species.
He said: “I have shown the picture to a number of marine boffins who say it is definitely the result of mixed parentage.
“I have caught thousands and thousands of fish but have never seen anything like it before. It is a proper oddity.”
Practical Fish Keeping reports experts speculate that a Fantail goldfish was released into the lake, bred with a carp, and resulted in this unusual catch. Another expert thought it could be a cross between a Fantail and a common goldfish. The Daily Telegraph includes fisheries ecologist Dr. Paul Garner calling it a “one-in-a-million” fish” not just because of the unusual characteristics but due to the slim odds of Sawyer catching it.
My brother recommended I may like this blog. He was once totally right. This post actually made my day. You can not believe just how much time I had spent for this info! Thanks!
In my opinion, this is a piece full of useful information that demonstrates a high level of knowledge.
