Hey Everyone,

Yesterday (20 October 2015) at Port George Beach, Annapolis Co. I came
across this fish washed up, dead, in the surf.

My car keys are about 9.5cm in total length, the fish was a decent size.

I didn't have my fish books with me, but I keyed it out with a Gulf of
Maine Fishes key I found online (sub key linked) and landed on White Hake.
Can anyone confirm an ID, positive or otherwise? On a side note, are there
any freely accessible online keys for our region?

While I was looking to confirm the ID, I found this map
<http://www.registrelep-sararegistry.gc.ca/virtual_sara/files/cosewic/sr_White%20Hake_2013_e.pdf>
that
showed dragger catches of white hake from 1968 to 2014 and it looks like
the fish is certainly within range (or should be if the study area stuck
out a bit further north). I hadn't seen these maps before today, but
they're really cool. Interesting to see the ranges change over time. The
link to maps for all the fish included is provided below.

Thanks,
Ian
