 Yea they used to be

 Yea they used to be chockablock with small fish, tarwine, baby snapper, little rat sambos, wrasse, box fish and various other small fish & sea horses & nudibranches. Ive done dive training there they used to hand out eggs to crack under water & all the fish would swarm around you was pretty cool for new divers, guess there wont be much of that going on for a while now.

 Yep , in the article they said all the seahorse were gone and even the fan worms were dead. 

As far as not much ever being on them, As Matt said, plenty of small species on them all the time if you took the time to look.

Palm Beach Jetty

Sun, 2015-12-06 17:44

I dived Palm Beach jetty to see to what extent the kill is in this area. There was a lot dead blue swimmer crabs, but then, I also saw a heap of live crabs.
I saw a lot of dead puffer fish, apparently that is bad thing
I did see a heap of bream, butter fish, herring and other sea life swimming around, looked quite normal in fact.

This fish kill has to be a chemical spill from the Kwinana strip or a vessel, or, elevated salt from the De-sal plant, or as a consequence of global warming, increased water temperatures
