deep water species from Down Under...

aok · 05-17-2008, 05:25 AM

Since there was an interest in what fish we get deep dropping in Australia i thought i'll post some pics of what i have caught...

first up is the Butterfly Gurnard:

next is the blue-eye trevella:

and the Knifejaw featured previously:

there are other species we get also but i havent caught them yet, Hapuka, Blue Grenadier...

...those fish are caught from 600~1700ft.

Cheers

Is that light you have on your rig one of those that give off sound too?

Those Blue-Eyed Trevallas (Hyperoglyphe antarctica) are close relatives to the Barrelfish (Hyperoglyphe perciformis) found off the Atlantic coast of the US. They're not well-known table fare in our parts, but it seems those BE Trevallas are fairly popular in Southern Australia. Found a few recipes and sashimi recommendations on an Aussi culinary website that I may apply to Barrelfish.

unclebuck,

yep those Blue eye are prized table fish and expensive at the fish market! Have given it a go sashimi-style and it was very nice.

yep, that light is a LUMA-vibe, emits green light and vibrates... not sold that it makes a difference cause my mates were catching just as many fish as i was, maybe their fish were attracted by my luma?

cheers

That butterfly gunard is a dolled-up version of a sea robin. Pretty trash fish

And the knifejaw....well that's just a super deep water sheepshead.
