What is another word for rough fish?
Pronunciation: [ɹˈʌf fˈɪʃ] (IPA) 
The term 'rough fish' is commonly used in fisheries management to refer to fish species that are not desirable as game or food fish. Some common synonyms for rough fish include trash fish, coarse fish, undesirable fish, and non-game fish. These fish species are often considered more of a nuisance than an asset, as they can compete for resources with more desirable fish and negatively impact aquatic ecosystems. Some examples of rough fish species include carp, catfish, gar, and suckerfish. Though these fish may not be as popular among anglers and consumers, they still play an important role in aquatic ecosystems and should be managed accordingly.
