fork-tailed

 If you are talking about the fork-tailed catfish, there are several species.  Not common, but they do get south sometimes - we have records from Shark Bay, Abrolhos, Fremantle and even Denmark!  It will be interesting if they are resident though.  No doubt things are changing...

Quite common in places

 We've been catching them for as long as i can remember. Actually used to be a real PITA when we were wetlining at times--they would move in and that was the end of that. This was mostly i over 40 fathoms (70m plus) of water, NOR. Nothing unusual, or recent, about their existence.
