I have discovered my omission of '$' on the 'this->... ' statements

<?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;
  }

}

?>
