Queer Fish Sighting Off Tolehester Beach Md
Mr James HL Gale of Tolehester Beach Md sent a queer looking fish for identification found near Tolehester. The 16 inch elongated specimen had four fins like an egg and no scales with a long lower jaw. An oval disk on the head bears oblique cartilaginous plates and a dorsal fin modification acts as a suction mechanism to attach to large fishes and ships. The fish feeds on small fish and remnants of sharks meals, known along our coast as shark sucker or remout Echeneus naucrates, ranging from Cape Cod to the tropics, common in Chesapeake Bay.
