Yet another id request - fish

[Tim]

Could anyone identify the four fish in the attached photo?

They had quite large barbels which they used for searching around in the sand with and a very distinctive black line.

Tim,

Here is an answer from RIchard Lord of Sustainable Guernsey....   https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sustainable-Guernsey/204550249584438

If they have barbels the fish are almost certainly red mullet (most likely striped mullet).  The dark line coloration is probably only visible when they are alive.  There are meant to be two species of red mullet in Guernsey waters although I have seen only one - the striped red mullet.

Regards,

Rosie
