European sprat is Sprattus sprattus. AlgoCatch stores the species with WoRMS AphiaID 126425. The catalog has no Slovenian, Croatian, or Italian common name. The Habitat Checker does not list sprat. AlgoCatch does not score this species. The town guides do not draw a sprat polygon.
Also called scientific name Sprattus sprattus. Slovenian, Croatian and Italian common names are not in the AlgoCatch catalog.
Where it lives in the Adriatic
Sprat is named so the vocabulary can point at the species. It is not one of the four public zone layers, which are gilthead, mackerel, bonito, and pandora. Pandora itself has no polygon in those files either.
How AlgoCatch maps it
AlgoCatch does not score sprat. The Habitat Checker cannot select it. A forage fish on the same ground as a scored species is still unscored.
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.
