Australian herring
The Australian herring can be found nearshore (close to the coast), in estuaries and inshore reefs. They are very similar in appearance to juvenile salmon but herring have a much larger eye and black tips on their tail.
Western rock lobster
Western rock lobster (Panulirus cygnus) are sometimes called ‘crayfish’ or ‘crays’. They can live for over 20 years and reach sizes over five kilograms!
Pink snapper and dhufish
Pink snapper and Western Australian dhufish are demersal (bottom dwelling) fish. They are vulnerable to
overfishing as they are slow-growing and generally don’t travel far from home.
Blacktip reef shark
The blacktip reef shark is a tropical shark, generally found close to coral reefs. It can easily be identified by its black-tipped fins.
Leafy seadragon
