    Fish I.D.

    On page 25 of the Qld Fishing Monthly is a photo of a "bluey parrot"

    Think it may be a Tusky?

    Thought the parrot fish had the parrot beak for tooth?

    Missus says i am probably wrong as usual

    saw the same thing in the mag myself, and I agree 100%. MOST people erroneously call tusk fish parrot. Just have a look through some of the offshore reports on here.

    Yep, a lot of the time in SEQ when people talk about a parrot they really mean tuskfish. Sort of like when people talk about 'fishing the continental shelf' when they're actually talking about fishing the continental slope.
