Good news about the burbot being reintroduced to Norfolk. I read in the i newspaper that the newspaper is starting a campaign with New Scientist to raise awareness and lobby to save our rivers from waste dumping and toxic run-off. I hope we can improve our waterways to prevent more species loss. I'm looking forward to watching Britain's Hidden Fishes. I think that will help with campaigning if it can reach a wide audience.
Any chance that our anguilla anguilla may end up in this list soon? I know there numbers have declined massively in my lifetime, but are they getting anywhere near close to these?
@@Chasingscalesspecieshunt That's good to hear. With the re-introduction of the burbot, it looked as though a fish that was common when I was child, could end up more rare than a fish that was extinct when I was a child. And that would have been quite bizarre.
That's a shame, but if they're that rare then I can understand. I've only ever caught one Lamprey, it was from the Dorset Frome with a net when I was a little boy and it was the strangest looking fish if I remember.
first Vendace are and have as far as we know only ever been native to four UK lakes 2 in england and two in scotland scots populations deemed well extinct how ever so too was english bassentwaite population then 10 or so years later a chap i know who now runs a private salmon hatchey caught vendace in bassenthwaite so they harvested i think only 80 odd fish and transfered them to lough skene scotland as refuge stock where they are thriving-final species Burbot ok what about the now extinct Houting a migratory coregon of the schelly vendace family? also lake ennerdale arctic chars are the only ones to leave the lake and spawn in river liza which enters lake ennerdale

Fascinating! Thank you, Jack! Very interesting and superb footage as expected!
Really cool, thank you Jack. Another interesting one would be rarest fish by county!

Lovely set of fish!
The lamprey is a true dinosaur

I'd never heard of a Vendace? But I feel I want to catch one now. Great video
It's actually illegal to target them on rod and line
