I was reading the article in the Angling Times this week about opening up the lost rivers of London. It made reference to the Thames and that there were 124 species of freshwater fish thriving in its water...

124 species?!

Is that a typo?

Who can list them for me?

1. Roach
2. Rudd
3. Gudgeon
4. Carp
5. Crucian Carp
6. Eels
7. Pike
8. Perch
9. Zander
10. Chub
11. Dace
12. Barbel
13. Bream
14. Tench
15. Golden Tench?
16. Ide
17. Grayling
18. Brown trout?
19. Rainbow trout?
20. Catfish?
21. Stickleback!
22. Bleak

That's all I can think of at the moment. WTF are the other 102 species?
