Information about Snapper (Pagrus auratus):
|
Snapper are found around the southern coastline of Australia.
Juveniles mainly inhabit inlets, bays and other shallow, sheltered sea waters. Adults are
found near reefs, inshore and offshore and in water depths of between 1 - 200 metres.
Snapper mature at approximately 4 years and can live up to 35 years.
Snapper are a prized table fish and excellent sport fish. They are an important fishery
for both commercial and recreational fishermen. They are caught using lines, traps or
nets.
Recreational Snapper catches are usually by rod-and-reel and handline methods, using
pilchards as bait. Squid and octopus are also a popular bait. Minimum legal size in all
states with bag limits in force in New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia.
