Juzzbott Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Hey everyone, Looking for an ID on this fish please... been looking online but can't seem to find a photo that matches the single fin underneath and the two feelers under the mouth. Caught in Beachport SA off the jetty. Thanks, Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 JustJames Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 I don't think it's a ling, ling are more eel like. I think it's this guy (Southern Rock Cod): https://vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/recreational-fishing-guide/catch-limits-and-closed-seasons/types-of-fish/marine-and-estuarine-scale-fish/southern-rock-cod-rock-cod-all-species 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 noelm Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Yep, that’s the one, you catch them here now and then, but they are mainly in more southern waters, very slightly different to our horrible, slimy Rock Ling…….yyeewww Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 JustJames Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Two red hot tips for ID'ing fish: 1. Use google image search on your pic of a fish. This is what I did with the pic of a fish posted here. 2. Join i-Naturalist, which lets you upload pics to get them ID'd. It's great for anything from fungi to birds and everything in between. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 noelm Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 Best bet is to buy an identification book suitable for your general area, a very good one is “fish of the southern ocean” or something like that, it’s perfect for NSW fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
