Australian salmon

Australian salmon (Arripis trutta) are common percoid fish found along the coasts of New South Wales, Tasmania, and New Zealand. They are fished for food and bait using beach seines. While the term "salmon" originally referred to the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), it now also includes similar fish in the Salmonidae family, particularly the Pacific salmon species of the genus Oncorhynchus.12

These fish are economically significant as both sporting and commercial products, with extensive efforts made to maintain and increase their populations for fisheries. Some salmon species, like the Pacific salmon, exhibit an anadromous life cycle, spawning in freshwater but migrating to the sea for feeding and maturation.34
