Good site for IDing fish?
 

Hey, does anyone know a good site with lots of images for identifying Aus
fish? Particularly NSW coastal.

Also, is there any other names for Mowong or is this the most commonly used
name?

Thanks...

Correct name is Morwong. Normally called a "mowie".. but morwong will
do. Sometimes sold in shops as 'Sea Bream'.
I caught a couple of silver morwong at Narooma a couple of months ago..
Great sport on an eggbeater, very similar to snapper.

The pics are B&W and not that good, but it's better than nothing. A

For New South Wales fishes, and indeed much of Australia, you could go
to the Australian Museum Fish website at
http://www.amonline.net.au/fishes/. Click on 'Find a fish' and then
choose by type of fish. You'll see a heading for Morwongs.

Have fun.

Thanks for this, but the site is rather patchy and their 'common'
names list is rather short. Couldn't even find slimy mackerel.

Somewhere else to look though. A
