0 finin Posted May 18, 2014 Author Share Posted May 18, 2014 (edited) Yeah thanks guys for the replies. Looked further into them with DPI, interesting that they may live in burrows? By catch of prawn trawlers and general location up near port stephens. Annual catch 2t Edited May 18, 2014 by finin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
