Information
of the largest fish from Norway and Iceland was provided by Pål Enger
(Norway).
(These records have not been
double-checked yet, 23/8/98)
The largest
ever fish caught on rod and line in British waters was a Bluefin
Tuna,
Thunnus thynnus, from a Whitby boat in 1933 that weighed
in at 386 kg (851
lb). Other notable fish of a different species
included a Sturgeon,
Acipenser sturio,
at a weight of 317 kg (700 lb) off the Orkney Isles in 1956. This
Sturgeon was 3.18 metres long. However, a Sunfish,
Mola
mola, weighing 363 kg, was washed up on Tayside, Scotland, in 1960.
Basking
Sharks grow much larger.
The largest Basking Shark
recorded in British seas was washed up on Brighton beach, Sussex, in 1806.
The weight was estimated at 8 tonnes, if the record is to be believed.
Probably more like 3 tonnes AH.
