Monkfish is Lophius piscatorius. AlgoCatch stores WoRMS AphiaID 126555. Common names in Slovenian, Croatian, and Italian are not in the catalog. The Habitat Checker does not list monkfish. AlgoCatch does not score this species. A score for hake or conger is not a monkfish score.
Also called scientific name Lophius piscatorius. Slovenian, Croatian and Italian common names are not in the AlgoCatch catalog.
Where it lives in the Adriatic
The vocabulary can name monkfish. The town guides cannot show a monkfish zone, because no public polygon file exists for it. Scoring another bottom species does not fill that gap.
How AlgoCatch maps it
AlgoCatch does not score monkfish. The Habitat Checker does not list it. A habitat score on this chart is never a monkfish score.
Rules
Croatia and Slovenia publish minimum size and closed season in their own gazettes. AlgoCatch does not copy a centimetre or a month onto this page. The figures in circulation do not agree, and a stale number is worse than a pointer. Check the current text for the water you are on before you keep a fish.
