Charles,

There is a new English/Common Name synonym required for the marine fish Argyrosomus regius.  The current English name of 'Meagre' has been discontinued and a new name of 'Shadefish' applied.

See over at:  http://www.glaucus.org.uk/Torpedo2010Sept.htm in the entry for the 12th August 2010. 

The entry reads:  "A two metre long Shadefish (a Drumfish), Argyrosomus regius, was netted off Portland Bill, Dorset, and landed at Brixham, Devon. This migratory Mediterranean* fish is a rare capture in British seas with only two previous BMLSS records of complete fish in 1998 and 2008. The book name Meagre or Maigre was a transcription mistake in an old book and I have discontinued its vernacular use. The capture was of an adult fish weighing 25 kg. This large fish is identified by its yellow mouth. It preys on other fishes including Grey Mullet."

Cheers and thanks

Steve
