Estuary perch Fishing
Macquaria colonorum
Estuary Perch inhabit tidal rivers and estuaries of southeastern Australia. Silvery with dark backs, they favor snag-lined pools and brackish waters. Feeding on shrimp, small fish, and insects, they are aggressive and hard-fighting. Known for seasonal spawning migrations, they are closely related to the prized Australian bass.
