A List Of South African Salt Water Sea Fishes South Africa boasts more than 2,200 sea fish species, many endemic fish and many exotic fish. Listed below are the most common fish species you are likely to encounter when angling in estuaries, rivers, blind rivers, from the shore and rocks as well as offshore and in the deeper water. We as South
African anglers and fishermen are very lucky to have the kind of saltwater resources, we do, so I am pleading with you to practice catch and release, follow bag and size limits and only keep the fish you really need. Our fish stocks are running out very fast and the more we conserve the more likely our sea fishes will start becoming more common
again. Below is the full list of all of South Africa's angling fishes plus fish types and species, and other exotic fish not often encountered. Click the link and you will find information on the fish you want, you will also see great photographs. The list below is in no particular order. See Freshwater Species List...
