0 Dreamtime Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Possibly a Gurnard Perch The Common Gurnard Perch has a relatively elongate body and short snout. The body is brownish or reddish, mottled with indistinct blackish blotches. The inside surface of the pectoral fin is white, with a broad vertical black band and numerous small orange spots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 slinkymalinky Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I think the 2nd dorsal fin might be wrong for a Gurnard Perch. I'd peg it as a Kelpfish... cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 openflame06 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I'd say kelpfish as well or rock cod looks extremely like a rock cod except for the purple blemishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
