Thank you nj852 for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Riverland and possibly elsewhere This one was 4kg, a large fish. These fish have destroyed the Murray River. Once a clear watered river, it's now murky as these fish filter thru the silt on the river bed looking for food, constantly stirring up the silt. | |||||
