IWFA GENERAL SPECIES LIST
Each Fish Name is listed in alphabetical order and is the name assigned to the Scientific Name of that species by the IGFA. Since names in your Country or region may be different, be sure to identify the correct Fish Name by cross-referencing the scientific name before completing an affidavit or filing for a Club Record. Fish names in bold indicate multiple size ranges which correlate to different point categories. Refer to the Point Table that follows the Species List.

Most species recognized by the International Game Fish Association by line class are recognized by the IWFA. The IWFA reserves the right to recognize species from the all-tackle category of the IGFA, if membership nominates the fish and the board approves of their inclusions to the species list. January 1 of each year is the effective date of additions to the IWFA fish list.
