0 nbdshroom Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) Looks like a silver perch. Caught a handful of them before in the estuary. Edited November 1, 2014 by nbdshroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 fishesh Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 As far as I know Silver perches are fresh water fishes. Im pretty sure its most likely a farmed fish from the sydney fish market that fell into the harbour and couldnt survive the salinity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
thefisherman6784
Hey guys
When I went to collect weed (Friday) for the weekend, I came past this fish laying freshly dead on the surface
Took it out for a photo and nerves still kicking
It almost looks familiar
Also, any idea how it died
It had no marks in it so nothing attacked it
Cheers thefisherman6784
