Family's fishy find
The Advocate, 12 Feb 2014.
A family stumbled across a 1.2m moonfish on Circular Head beach, writes The Advocate. This fish is not common in Bass Strait and likely strayed from the Indian or Great Southern Ocean. Read the full story here.
Moonfish are more often found in northern Australian waters, and warmer waters like in Thailand and the Phillipines. This photo is from the Fishes of Australia database.
