Quid

Conservation status - N/A

The name ‘Quid’ can be found on the Fish Trail in a pavement sculpture close to the Minerva Inn near the pier.

Extensive investigation hasn’t revealed the identity of this fish. The most likely explanation has been that it is has some  local and/or historical connection to a more common fish. In one of the fish trail leaflets for instance it is referred to as a small salmon. Maybe it also links to the cost of purchasing a weight or quantity of fish.

Because of it’s questionable identity it has no formal “conservation” status but it has been used in this entry to symbolise the threat that all fish are under from over fishing, by catch and pollution.
