Arrhamphus sclerolepis Gunther
Description
Arrhamphus sclerolepis Günther
Snub-nose Garfish
Although the species is widespread throughout northern Australia, within freshwaters of the Kimberley it is known only from two specimens captured at the base of King Cascades (brackish) in the Prince Regent River (Allen 1975) and from one specimen captured in the lower Ord River (Storey 2003) (Fig. 13). The species inhabits shallow coastal waters, estuaries and the lower reaches of rivers (Allen et al. 2002); thus its absence from most Kimberley rivers may be due to exclusion by waterfall barriers.
