[nuggstar]

stripy grunter, banded grunter, stripy trumpeter, banded trumpeter. there all good names in my book. i have caught so many of the spikeys buggers its not funny, theres heaps in maroochy. and darwin is plaged with them

[Mangfish]

i agree with nuggstar they're a plague in maroochy and most rivers on the sunny coast, they're thick as hell in coochin. nasty to get out of the cast net

Banded trumpeter/grunter either way are spikey things, I caught a couple of these and did a fish id on this site http://www.ausfish.com.au/vforum/sho...d.php?t=122397
and it was id'd as as a banded trumpeter/grunter and they are comonly found in whiting grounds.

cheers callum

i agree with Terapon jarbua, could also be T. theraps but from what i can see more likely jarbua, identified a fair number of these as part of a bycatch study. As for common names seen it called everything already mentioned as well as a few others (crescent grunter, crescent perch, tiger perch).

I think it is a crescent perch. I have caught a few of them while whiting fishing.

Yep, that's the crescent perch, Terapon jarbua. Located from Geraldton (WA) north to about Port Macquarie, NSW

We've always called them Trumpeter , and used to catch quite a few good sized ones years ago around Dohles Rocks . They are not bad eating if you ever get a decent sized one, which I have not seen for a long time.
