About Streaked gurnard
Roberto Pillon (CC BY 3.0)
The streaked gurnard (Chelidonichthys lastoviza, formerly Trigloporus lastoviza) usually measures around 15 cm and can reach about 40 cm. Like other gurnards it has a large, angular, bony head with ridges and spines, and the snout profile is almost vertical. The three lowest rays of each pectoral fin are separate and used for walking on the seabed and feeling for food. Good field marks are the oblique skin ridges running across the flanks, and small backward-pointing spines on the lateral line scales. The body is reddish with dark spots, and the grey pectoral fins carry large dark blue spots. It lives near the bottom over rock and sand on the continental shelf and feeds on crustaceans and other bottom animals. It is found in the Mediterranean and along Atlantic coasts from the British Isles to the Canary Islands. Norwegian Red List 2021: Not Applicable (NA).

- Norwegian sport-fishing records are registered with Villmarksliv, not with FishComp. Read the rules before you do anything else with the fish.
- Records are based on weight and approved by a jury. You give the weight and length, where it was caught, the gear you used and any witnesses.
- Keep your photos and notes from the catch. Logging it in FishComp does not register a record.
