Listed below are some of the popular fishes that may be found in the coastal waters of Mauritius. Local names are shown in italics. The colours of the fish have been described as observed under normal daylight and might not always match those on some photos that have been taken under water. The feeding habit gives an indication of the bait that might be used, if one intends to go fishing. Squid, octopus, shrimp, and sea-snail flesh are good baits for Carnivorous, Benthivorous, or piscivorous fish. (Small fish, however, should be released!)
