Fishing Singapore - Ken's Catch of the Month ::
- 31st January 2004 ::
A juvenile Rosy Jewfish (Otolithes ruber syn. argenteus)
caught by a neighbouring angler, was an unexpected
addition to the BJ biodiversity collection. This particular croaker has distinctive fang-like canine teeth and for this
reason, it has been called the Longtooth Salmon in South Africa. These Jewies grow to a maximum size of 70cm
which is half the size of an adult Black Jewfish. |
