SALMON IN ALBANY

Steve and Nick talk about where Salmon are found around Albany.

Australian salmon aren’t a real salmon at all, of course. They’re related to perch and as you go around Australia and NZ, they change slightly.

This is what the WA Museum has to say about different salmon in WA compared to the east coast and NZ:

Western Australian Salmon = Arripis truttaceus
Eastern Australian Salmon + NZ Kahawai = Arripis trutta

Another species, Giant Kahawai Arripis xylabion, is found around the islands north of New Zealand
