Barramundi are salt and freshwater sportfish, targeted by many. They have large, silver scales, which may become darker or lighter, depending on their environments. Their bodies can reach up to 1.8 m (5.9 ft) long, though evidence of them being caught at this size is scarce. The maximum weight is about 60 kg (130 lb).
The humpback grouper (Cromileptes altivelis), also known as the panther grouper, (in Australia) barramundi cod, (in the Philippines, in Tagalog) lapu-lapung senorita, (in the Philippines, in Bisayan) miro-miro, (in Japan) sarasa-hata, (in India) kalava, and many other local names, [4] is a species of marine ray-finned fish.
This fish has a sturdy body and a small head. The body is brownish with darker blotches and darker fins. [ 3 ] The fish reaches a maximum length of about 50 cm. [ 2 ]
The total length of the body (also bill-to-tail length) of a bird is usually measured from dead specimens before being skinned for preservation. The measurement is made by laying the bird on its back, stretching out the neck, making the beak point forward, and measuring between the tip of the bill and the tip of the tail.
While similar to the barramundi, it differs in several features. It has a taller and deeper body (averaging a much greater size), longer third dorsal and second anal spines, fewer pectoral fin rays, more scales, and fewer gill rakers. [2] It reaches an officially recorded maximum length of 130 cm (51 in) and a maximum weight of 33 kg (73 lb). [3]
It grows to a length of about 90 cm (35 in). Its maximum weight is recorded as 17.2 kg (38 lb), but one report suggests it has been known to weigh as much as 27 kg (60 lb). The depth of the bodies of adults is approximately 25–28% of the Standard Length, making this a more robust fish than its Australian cousin S. leichardti .
