What kind of fish are in the Sea of Galilee?
I've been wondering about the wildlife in the Sea of Galilee. Are there still fish in that sea? If so, how many types of fish are there?

There are about 27 species of fish (19 natives) that is living in the Sea of Galilee. They are divided into three commercially used groups: the binny (barbels), the musht and the Kinneret sardines. The fish are still caught and eaten by the local people.
