Submitted by elliotbirch on Fri, 2014-08-15 22:19Got this in about 20m of water near Garden Island, I'm pretty sure it's a scorpion fish but having never seen one I can't be positive! Cheers.

Submitted by avago on Fri, 2014-08-15 07:26I know its not a fish, and i have my thoughts as to exactly what it is, but being so small I thought best to ask those who know far more than I do.
Thanks

Fish ID #2
Submitted by Quobbarockhopper on Thu, 2014-08-07 20:22And another weird one... Pretty sure its not the obvious option (Pigfish) due to the half moon shaped lower fin and the long spine off the tail.. any help with this one would be great as well! thanks

which cod please?
Submitted by Ziggy_Cosmo on Mon, 2014-08-04 08:44
Hey all so I'm pretty confident the bigger cod pictured is a leopard wirrah but unsure of the smaller, slightly brown banded fish? Is it the same species but different sex, or possibly flowery or rockspotted cod? Or am I totally wrong? Cheers

Submitted by carnarvonite on Sun, 2014-06-15 20:51Its not very often that I get a fish that I can't identify by going through all my books but here's one in the hope that someone has got one before or knows what it is. Caught off the back of the islands off Carnarvon last week while wetlining for snapper

Was caught just out from Mindarie near the reefs. It was gut hooked and was bleeding badly so couldn't return it.

Fish ID Please -Fish on Right of Esy
Submitted by trueblue_10 on Sun, 2014-05-25 10:25Think the fish on the right is a goldspotted sweetlips (I know what the rest are). The two finger marks on the back are confusing. This pic was a couple of hours after it was caught/bled.
