Fish ID Quiz Mak II

[chuckaroo]

I posted this on Facebook and it got a disappointing response. Maybe it was too difficult for most or too much of an effort for others, I don’t know. I made a lot of them quite definitive I thought, here it is anyway..

There are a couple of the same species in there, there is one that is not a fish, and all pics are not to scale, obviously..
Would like specific species identified where I believe it should be possible to do so, otherwise close enough will do.
Ye are only allowed one attempt
No prizes, just good ol' fashioned pride, lol

Something to keep ya busy for a bit stuck at home at this time!...
Inspired by JWs original post of course

Ok, so I had to review the answers
Where it was impossible to differentiate between two (or more) separate species from a photo (e.g. spotted ray or blonde ray) then, as stated initially, either of the species would do. However, I was a little harsh on one or two of them. Revised scores:

You probably did as good as could be done with one guess JW as there were 2 or 3 that are particularly tricky. Great effort.
Otherwise, all pics are of pretty much commonly caught species from around our coast (shore and boat); there are no rare catches.
Answers will go up soon enough if no one else interested?

Are there more than 1 pic of the same species

yes donal, some species are in twice...

yes donal, some species are in twice...

That's brilliant, I can go off the medication so and cancel the prescription glasses.

I was saying to chuckaroo is my sight gone really bad or is this really hard

Will put the answers up later today.
