This week in Fish: Fan-finned mullet

By: Mark McGrouther, Category: Science, Date: 02 Mar 2012

This week we posted images of a strange mullet with elongated fins.  This is not the first image of a strange 'fan-finned' mullet that has been sent to the museum.  We also show an image of a rarely reported dartfish from Sydney Harbour.
