Comments |
Restricted to SW Australia from Gulf St. Vincent (S.A.) to the Houtman Abrolhos Is. (W.A.); at depths to more than 200 m. The report from Port Philip, Victoria cannot be confirmed due to missing specimen and thus, may be incorrect (Ref. 54394). Common on and near rocky reefs, especially in moderately deep waters, but not often taking baits thus consequently rarely seen by fishermen (Ref. 33839). Also Ref. 7300, 54394. |
