    skusto is on the money- tarwhine - rounder in the nose but also the lateral line does not show a drop on the shoulder as do bream.

    It is a tarwhine but they are also called 'Silver bream'.The rounder nose is how you can tell them apart from other bream.

    Agree with all of the above - tarwhine. The clues are the more rounded head and the body is covered with pale gold lines running horizontally from nose to tail. The real clincher (if you kept it) was that the lining of the body cavity (when you gut the fish) is black in the tarwhine. You can't mistake it then

    Yumm! Love those tarwhine - beautiful white flesh. Get a better fillet off them than a normal bream also due to a much smaller rib cage. Some real snodgers around on the beaches up the Sunny Coast at the moment.

    You can always tell when you've hooked a tarwhine as they go like the clappers when first hooked, but then tend to give up after a while and almost swim in towards you.
