Macquarie Perch

Other names: -

The Macquarie perch (Macquaria australasica) is a freshwater fish native to the Murray-Darling basin in Australia. Known for its dark, olive-colored body, it inhabits cool, clear rivers and lakes. This species prefers deep, slow-moving water with rocky or gravelly substrates. Macquarie perch populations have declined significantly, making it a vulnerable species, but it remains a target for recreational fishing where allowed.
