Barramundi are a member of the Latidae family. They are catadromous fish, being born in saltwater while living most of their lives in fresh or brackish water. The species is found mostly in Australia, Southeast Asia, and in places of the Pacific Ocean. While Barramundi can be found in saltwater they prefer rivers, lagoons, and estuaries. Nearly all Barramundi are born as males and some turn into females between 3-4 years of age. They feed primarily on fish, insects, and small aquatic animals. It is a prized fish amongst anglers and a popular species in today’s fish farming industry.
