Arripis georgianus
The little arrrip is a medium-sized marine fish. It lives in coastal waters of southern Australia and feeds on small animals.
The little arrrip differs from true salmons in that it spends its entire life in the sea. It is important for the marine ecosystem as a predator and as food for large fish and birds.
