Description

Synonyms: Oligerus macquariensis

Notes: The name on the label, Oligorus macquariensis, was used to refer to the Murray cod and the trout cod as they used to be defined as the same species. A juvenile Murray cod and the trout cod look similar. This was found on River Mary - an excursion by Wyville Thomson whilst the ship was at Sydney.
