  • Subject: Long fin batfish Message: Hi Mark, My brother alerted me to today's Daily Telgraph article. I snorkel all year round and visit Parsley Bay for a snorkel at least once every weekend and keep a record of everything I see, ie what species and how many. There has been a juvenile long fin/long tail batfish in the bay for almost the last 2-3 months including up to last Sunday. It is usually located near the middle of the net, although when my brother and I first sighted it it was on net on the far eastern edge of the bay. Thought you might be interested, although I guess from your article on this website it appears a batfish (was it a longfin batfish?)in Parsley Bay has been already reported. thanks & regards yours sincerely Robert (Bob) Hitchen
