0 Josh88 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thats a really weird looking fish, its shaped like a whiting but from those colours and patterns i would of said some sort of wrasse type fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 austwave Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 does any one know what the fish is it looks like a spraypainted whiting I believe it to be either a Blue Weed Whiting (Haletta semifasciata) or a Long Ray Weed Whiting(Siphonognathus radiatus) leaning to the former Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Blackfish Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Certainly a odd fish. Never seen one myself. Have to agree with Austwave, Blue Weed Whiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Davemmm Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 We landed a couple of them on nippers in the Shoalhaven a few years ago. The fella I was with just called them weed whiting. They werent real big so they went back to Neptune. Wonder what they taste like. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Jimikin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I'm going for a female Long Rayed Weed Whiting, that's the closest match to the pictures in my ID book (Sea fishes of Southern Australia by Hutchins and Swainton) Cheers Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
