Fishes - Australian Museum Fish Site

The Fish Department - Fieldwork

Sydney Harbour, March 1998

Fishes this photo: White-ear (Parma microlepis), several species of Weedfishes (Cristiceps and Heteroclinus) and, the most unusual find of the dive, a single Robust Ghost Pipefish (Solenostomus cyanopterus), which is rarely seen because of it's wonderful kelp-like camouflage. On all accounts a very successful field trip!
