Data boundary

This English page intentionally stays narrow: it uses first-party aggregated records, reviewed English fish names, and visible sample counts. It does not translate Chinese guide prose, infer unverified regulations, or promise catches. For the full Chinese page, see 尼羅口孵非鯽 fish data (Traditional Chinese).
