All the Fish of Bermuda
« Back to the Fish photo guide | Flora & Fauna | Scuba Diving
Every fish species recorded as present in Bermuda’s waters: 482 species, from the reef fish you will see snorkelling to ocean wanderers and deep-sea fish that live far below diving depth. 5 are found nowhere else in the world, 26 are protected by Bermuda law (including every parrotfish), and 8 were introduced by people. Grouped by family; use the search box or the buttons to find a fish.
Two kinds of lionfish. Bermuda has two species of lionfish: the red lionfish (Pterois volitans) and the devil firefish (Pterois miles). They look almost identical and both are invasive Pacific fish that arrived in the Atlantic off Florida in the 1980s and reached Bermuda around 2000. Divers help control them, and they are delicious to eat, but don’t touch: the spines are venomous.
