Also known as Spotted Grunter-Bream because of the grunting noise they make on capture, adult Spotted Javelinfish are all over silvery blue. All fins, including the square cut tail are clear. The lower lobe of the tail is blotched in white towards the tip. There is a strong, spear-shaped anal spine. The mouth is relatively small.
Juveniles have numerous vertical bars comprised of small dark spots over the upper side and back. There are also dark spots between the spines and rays of the dorsal fin. These spots fade with maturity, along with the silver blue to green back of the dorsal area of the juvenile which fades to silver.
Spotted Javelinfish grow up to 6kg and 66cms in length.
They are very considered good eating and freeze well.
Spotted Javelinfish are found from Shark Bay Western Australia, around the tropical north to northern New South Wales.
