Fishing Victoria Forum

http://guy.site44.com/lj.jpg This was found washed up on the ocean beach around the Sorrento/Portsea area with stunning blue colouring I've never seen before. According to my book it could be a Bluefin Leatherjacket or a Bluelined Leatherjacket but neither of these look quite right. I'm assuming it...

Looks like a regular 6 spine, maybe during decomposition its changed colour? I cant imagine a live one looking like that. Im really not sure though, definitely very interesting.

It's a parrot fish. Type of Wrasse

Notolabrus tetricus. Female version of the Blue Throat Wrasse.

They're hermaphrodites. Once you pluck the male out of a colony the dominant female will change to a male

Great gummy shark bait.

Among a mixed bag of small fish we got two of these. Surely common but we don’t know what it is

Parrotfish/wrasse like the others said. Fish is a fish, better than donut.
