Steve Hartley is the founder of Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, New Quay. He now runs Dolphin Survey Boat Trips, however previously fished the waters of Cardigan Bay. Steve recalls finding triggerfish in lobsterpots in the area as early as 1984.

Recollection as follows:

"I bought my boat, The Sulaire, in 1987, which I regularly fished off. However I also fished before this point. In 1984, between Aberaeron and Llanrhystud, I was pulling up lobsterpots which were full of trigger fish.

I remember them being a nightmare to get out of the pots, as they would grind their teeth!"
