Species Overview

바라문디

The barramundi is a large, catadromous predator native to the Indo-West Pacific. It is a protandrous hermaphrodite, beginning life as male and transitioning to female after several years. Highly prized in both sport fishing and aquaculture.

Swordfish

The swordfish is a highly migratory pelagic predator recognized by its long, flat, pointed bill. It can dive to depths exceeding 2,800 meters and possesses a specialized organ that heats its eyes and brain for improved vision in cold, deep water.
