The Barramundi is one of the most well-known fish in Australia. Barra are the stuff that angler's dreams are made of: a sporting catch, lovely to eat and plenty of it at a maximum of 60kg (132 pounds). The biggest ones measure nearly 1.8 metres (6 feet) in length so they must be a real challenge to haul into the boat! The huge demand for this fish has sparked a multi-million dollar aquaculture and commercial fishing industry. Barra are restocked into waterways and dams to replenish the supply and you'll find barramundi (Lates calcarifer) served at most seafood restaurants in coastal Queensland.
