Beche De Mer
(Sea Cucumber)

Also known as Goatfish

Red Mullet are caught in demersal otter trawl fisheries in northern Australia.  In southern Australia, they are mainly caught as a by-catch in inshore seine net fisheries.

There is a limited high value market for domestic consumption of larger fish.  The smaller Red Mullet are popular with South Australian consumers.

Red Mullet are demersal fish and sue their barbels to search for food.  They reach maximum size of 35-50cm fork length.

Angling for Red Mullet or Goatfish:

Although goatfishes have been occasionally caught on small baited hooks, the recent popularity of fishing soft-plastic fish baits means red mullet and perhaps rare tropical species will become more common in anglers’ catches.
