Torrentfish

This aptly named fish is found amongst swift tumbling riffles and is related to the blue cod. Like the whitebait family, the larvae get washed out to sea and the juveniles return to freshwater in spring and summer. Torrentfish are relatively common with most adults growing to about 10 cm.
