sailfish gill parasitical fishes
Submitted by ranmar850 on Thu, 2015-07-23 20:19No pictures for this, but i was swimminmg a sail alonside when I noticed a white tail hanging out from his gill plate. Pulled on it, and a pure white, soft-bodied fish slid out, perhaps 75 mm in length. Flattened body with mouth set under. He slid off the body and was gone. As we continued to swim the fish, who eventually released well, the same thing happened again. what would they be, and how many could a sail support without ill-effects? Assuming they latch onto blood-rich membranes in the gill area to feed.

Newbie fish ID pls!
Submitted by Carewza on Wed, 2015-06-03 15:59My son (9yo) and I are newbies to fishing! We are in Carnarvon at the moment and caught this fella down at the fascine but threw him back because we didn't know what it was. I'm thinking an emperor of some sort due to the shape? I could be way off track, and the fisheries book that we have just doesn't seem to have it. It was just shy of 30cm. I'm sure one of the pros here will know!
cheers,
jess

Fish ID - emperor in Perth
Submitted by Percula on Sun, 2015-05-24 19:23Hi Guys
What are your thoughts on this one? Caught in Perth today, 2 in a row. Bit nervous to bring it back in as couldn't be sure.
Is it baby spangled, blue line or is it a blue spotted?
If blue spotted it would have been size (29cm).
Thanks

Fish ID canning river
Submitted by lachieH on Tue, 2015-01-06 18:08Hi everyone, fishing at castledare miniature railway and hit a school of these caught about 7 in a row trying something different, using a float. I thought they might be a relation to trumpeter because of the stripes.
the eyes of the fish pop out like deep water ones.

Tuna id
Submitted by Wannafish on Sun, 2014-12-07 18:11Hi guys, here is a tuna we caught last week down the bottom of Exmouth gulf in about 2.5m of water. The photo isn't that great, but it has pointed teeth, spots on the top half, stripes on the bottom half, and long tassels from he dorsal fin. It was only about 300mm long.... An id would be great! Thanks Drew

Fish ID
Submitted by Paul the fisherman on Wed, 2014-10-08 09:45Gday Guys
Been enjoying the website for a while and have never got around to signing up (until now anyway!). Hoping someone on here can help me with an ID on a fish caught last weekend. I cant recall ever being completely stumped on a fish ID before, but this is definitely something I've never come across. Looks like a buff bream crossed with a red snapper to me but hoping someone can give me an actual ID! Got him off Rockingham.
Cheers
Paul

Gemfish?
Submitted by shoe on Mon, 2014-09-15 05:17I caught this little fella yesterday and my first thought was that it looks like a gemie, only problem is I caught it in about 40m of water while jigging for snapper.
Someone suggested a barracouta, so I'm not to sure now.
If it helps it was caught off the nsw mid north coast.
Cheers guys.
