Estuary Perch
Estuary Perch, also known as Australian Perch, are a popular fish species found in coastal waters and estuaries of Australia. They thrive in brackish environments, where freshwater meets saltwater, and are known for their adaptability to varying salinity levels. These fish typically have a silver body with dark vertical stripes and can grow up to 60 centimeters in length.
Estuary Perch are carnivorous, feeding on smaller fish, crustaceans, and insects. They are sought after by both recreational and commercial fishers due to their tasty flesh and fighting ability when caught. Conservation efforts are in place to ensure sustainable populations of this species.
