I got this in the cast net this morning, at first glance i thought it was a cod, but when i had a closer look at it there were lots of spikes on it.
Is it a bullrout???

P.S> I also got 2kg of banana prawns![]()

If you google bullrout i think you'll find that it is indeed one. I've caught a few in the cast net as well, buggers to get out. Whered you manage the prawns from?
yeah it looks to me like a bullrout.
Is it a juvinile patato cod? Im not sure, but just a suggestion,
cheers
Ahhhhh, To be young and Free
it is definatly a bullrout stone fish, ( Notesthes robusta )
they have poison spikes everywhere on em, and there are only a couple of spikes that dont have poison, the mouth spines, next time you see one look closer and they have little spines on there mouth. (just a little advice)
they are awsome fish!, i have three of em in my tank.
