    Hard to say...it blends into the background too much... any other shots ?

    My guess is it's a Bastard Trumpeter if you seen it in SA waters !

    Looks like what we call a rock cod, they are pretty common on the coast round the rocks etc.

    It still could be a Bastard Trumpeter on holidays at an Avoca Beach Reef Fish Resort...


    Actually if it is a Rock Cod... beware they have spines on their heads, gills, and dorsal fins that are venemous... I dont think it can kill but it will give a nasty wound if they are handled !
