This should be correct and it's not. Please explain why my answer is wrong.

I believe everything should be correct but the system keeps saying that there is something wrong. And I can't figure it.

Thank you.

fish.php 
<?php

class Fish
{
    public $common_name;
    public $flavor;
    public $record_weight;

    function __construct($name, $flavor, $record){
        $this->common_name = $name;
        $this->flavor = $flavor;
        $this->record_weight = $record;
    }

    public function getInfo() {
        $output  = "The {$this->common_name} is an awesome fish. ";
        $output .= "It is very {$this->flavor} when eaten. ";
        $output .= "Currently the world record {$this->common_name} weighed {$this->record_weight}.";
        return $output;
    }
}

class Trout extends Fish {
  public $species;

  public function __construct($name, $flavor, $record, $species){
    parent::__construct($name, $flavor, $record);
    this->species = $species;
  }
}

?>

You're just missing the dollar sign on this.

$this->species = $species;
