South Florida fish

Anglrithm scores 14 fish. Each has a page with its water temperature band and the study behind it, its best months, the spawning calendar where one is on record, and every factor the score weighs with the strength of its evidence.

How to read these pages

Water temperature is well established and works in both directions: each fish has a band, and water outside it on either side counts against an hour. A tagged band comes from fish carrying temperature tags, with the study linked; where no tagging study exists the page says so and names the score's working range as an opinion.

Every factor carries its evidence tier. Solunar tables and the barometer trend are labelled not supported: they stay visible, discounted to a fifth of their weight, and are never promoted. The pages show no hour and no score; those are in the app, where today's score at any spot is free with an account.

The studies behind the pages are on the science page, and the feeds behind the app on the sources page.
