Mulloway inhabit tidal rivers, estuaries and surf beaches, reefs and rocky headlands of inshore waters although they can be found offshore at depths in excess of 100m.
Where are mulloway found?
Mulloway (Argyrosomus japonicus) are found in coastal waters from the Burnett River, Queensland, to North West Cape, Western Australia. Mulloway use both estuaries and marine habitats. Coastal development affects both estuaries and coastal waters, both of which are important habitat for mulloway.
Where can I fish in mulloway?
Their habitat range extends from the upper tidal limits of coastal rivers in near-drinkable water to reefs and offshore gravel beds many kilometers from the coast. They are particularly fond of hunting in river mouths and adjacent coastal areas along rocky foreshores and beaches where baitfish and squid are abundant.
