Thames and Medway Fish ID guide

Panthalassa and Living River Foundation have recently developed a “Thames and Medway Fish Identification Guide”.

This document is a publicly accessible resource to help correctly identify between two fish species that can be difficult to differentiate. It’s our hope that volunteers, fishermen, estuary users and locals will find the ID guide an insightful tool.

We also hope it will help increase public knowledge, interest and awareness about the fish that are found in the Medway and Thames estuary.
