The Sooty Grunter also known by the name "Black Bream" is a species of fish which inhabits coastal and inland freshwater creeks and rivers of northern Australia in Queensland and the Northern Territory. They can weigh up to 5 kilograms and grow to a maximum length of around 45cms, although most specimens reach 25 to 30 cms. Sooty grunters are a popular target fish for anglers due to their aggressive nature and readiness to strike at bait as well as their taste being superior to most other freshwater species. A different species of fish called the Khaki Grunter is often mistaken for the Sooty Grunter. Sooties feed mainly on invertebrates, especially freshwater prawns, and small fish. But their diet can be far more varied when river flows and water levels fall, and then can include water weeds and falling figs and Pandanus nuts. Wikipedia [ - ]
